Two-Ounce Shots & Ticking Off Virginians

Have you noticed a trend that this adventurous couple has been spending more time across the border in Virginia? There was good reason to go across the river and then some this past weekend, when Justin and I set out for Ridgeway. We were on our way to see my great Aunt Betty, who is spry and articulate at 93.

We headed out in a suped-up Grand Jeep Cherokee (nice ride but doesn't corner well) down the Beltway, I-66 toward I-81. Ugh, avoid the usual Capital traffic if you can. We would have been better to go up to I-70 in Maryland and cut over West, even if we had more miles heading South. Construction and sheer Washington driving idiocy tacked on an extra hour of stop-and-go driving.
