We have arrived!

We arrived here in Bethesda around 6:30pm Eastern time and have settled into our hotel room. We had a very pleasant leisurely drive today...we drove part of the way on The Blue Ridge Parkway...lots of lookouts...so lots of stops along the way to "look out" and take a few pictures...plus the speed limit is 45...so you don't get very far, very fast. It was rather hazy out over the valley...plus it was mid day...so not the best time to take pictures. We were driving along the ridge of the Blue Ridge Mountains...so the mountains in the distance in the above picture are the Alleghenies. It probably reached 90 today...but the humidity has been low...so very pleasant.

Woody was glad when we got here so he could plop and rest. He is up in the room resting while I came down to the lobby to blog.

Tomorrow we head to NIH bright and early...lab work, CT scans, MRI of the brain, EKG, chest x-ray, etc. Hopefully it won't be too long of a day.
