    5 1/2 hrs seems like a very generous travel time.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    well the only consolation I can give you is that it's not supposed to be shore weather this weekend, it might deter some folks from heading to the beach.

    good luck and GO PHILLIES!!!!!


    Also, I believe unfortunately many of the shore destinations are still recovering from Sandy. I think many will stick out this weekend at home. Bad for shore business. Good for parkway traffic. I think you'll make the game no problem.

    nah you gotta drag the line towards the highway you want. if there were smaller/less prominent highways i would not have been able to do that.

    yea but how much did the train tickets for two of you cost?

    If you're staying in or near Capitol Hill, There's a place called Port City Java that has lame coffee but the most amazing scones you will ever try. They are more like cookies than scones. Whenever I'm in DC i bring back a couple dozen to distribute among friends. There's another place called Pound the Hill that has really good coffee. And by that I just mean they have Nutella lattes. Both are located in the Capitol Hill area.

    I miss DC now. :|

    The train tickets weren't too expensive. For sanity puposes, I would take a nice train ride over the possibility of being stuck in traffic most of the day.

    Just bought tickets to Sundays game too.

    All inclusive beer and wine :lol: :twisted:
