Re: MD - DC - VA area ride
It was good seeing you guys! And I'm glad the wife and I finally got around to seeing the museum. We need to go see the Udvar-Hazy museum out in Dulles next, the thing is like 5 minutes from where I work yet we've not been to see it yet...

Keith,
Great outing, nice people, beautiful weather, and the National Marine Corps Museum was an inspiration. Thanks for the cruise. Bob, the Air Museum at Dulles is absolutely worth a visit. Jim |

Re: MD - DC - VA area ride
Thank you guys for coming. The museum really is someting special. Udvar-Hazy is another great place. I'm game anytime ... or at least when my daughter doesn't have a soccer game. (By the way, they won 2-1 today).
Great seeing you both. Cheers, Keith |

Re: MD - DC - VA area ride
Would really have enjoyed National Marine Corps Museum; the place has a special meaning to me and I've not taken the time to go see it.
This song is getting old but maybe "I'll have my  car back" before the next road trip. As of Friday, it's actually done, the issue now is finding the time to go get it!
