Travelogue - (on a mission in) Washington D.C.

Whenever we travel to Washington D.C., we remember the first time we visited as a couple. It was 2008. Early summer. Hotter than hell. At the time, we had decided D.C. would be a perfect jumping off point for a road trip across the United States.

Snap Travelogue – San Francisco

Random thoughts on last week's long weekend in San Francisco.



Day 1



TSA SUCKS - We've been really tolerant – verging on supportive – of the TSA. We think those front-line folks have a shitty job, so we try to be understanding. Today changed all of that. Getting through security was a mess. We got pulled for having suspicious looking coffee mugs. Um, they were empty. Time to be more vocal about the shortcomings of the TSA and the body scanning… Continue
