Our weekend started Friday afternoon itself. DH Toto came home around 12.00 P.M Sharp and we set off by 1.00 p.m on the ride. As usual traffic was at the peak.BTW,I forgot to mention the fact that Toto was riding with 3 women in the car. Me,The GPS(lady voice) and the Radar Detector(lady' voice).Our GPS was updating the traffic msgs and we were constantly getting updates..One side the detector was beeping continously.It was havoc in the car..Totally Noisy.
By the way we were planning to go to Owing Mills,Baltimore,Maryland to catch up with C and S,our friends from Greenville who recently moved to Baltimore.C and S have a 4 month old baby,Aarnav( Thats a cute name,It meant the Ocean).Luckily we reached Owing Mills by 9.00 P.M and gave them a surprise.Baby A was awake.We had dinner and played poker with them.
Next day morning,we woke up fresh.Had Semiya-Upma for breakfast.We drove towards Washington DC.Our first stop was at the Jefferson Memorial.We walked by the East Potomac Park and took some shots at the Memorial.From here we could see a birdsview of the National World WarII Memorial.Then we drove past Lincoln Memorial and headed towards Virginia to have a lunch.Lunch was great,Excellent South Indian Cuisine at Minerva.Then we drove back to DC .Went to Capitol Hill and White House. Missed Arlington Cemetery.Clicked Pics.We went to the childrens garden beside Capitol Holl and took pics of baby A with 
the 
flowers.Baby A likes flowers becoz they are colorful. After visiting, we went to C's friends place in Ashburn,VA.We watched the game at his place and spent some time with them.They had a lovely apt.It was so clean/neat. Perfect!!I wish my apartment was as orderly as theirs.We returned latenight at 12.
Sunday Morning,everybody was awake and dressed by 12.00 P.M. I know its late,b
ut we had a hearty breakfast.S made Poori with the awesome chicken curry.Baby A wore his new dress which his new aunty and uncle got him from Boston.We planned to go to the beach.So we checked on Ocean City,MD or Atlantic City.We saw that Atlantic city was near,but later we realised the consequences.Traffic jam.It showed us 2 and half hrs,but we reached late.Toto and me liked Atlantic City,NJ " Always Turned On". We parked at Tropicana and walked across the boardwalk.Toto and C went to play the cardgames.After a while they returned,losing some money as always.Me and S tried our hand playing slots.Came back home,Tired.
Monday Morning,all our energy levels have gone down by then.We planned to relax at home.S and me cooked spicy sea food and the guyz played BlackJack for a while.We had lunch and then we got baby A ready.We took a train to downtown Baltimore.It was similar like Boston BackBay but they had some nice malls near the Harborplace.We strolled down along the harbor.Since it was memorial day weekend,the place was crowded.We returned home early and watched the Celtics vs Pistons game.Pistons won.
Tuesday morning we started driving back home.We stopped at NJ for lunch.On the whole,we had a gud weekend, apart from driving and getting caught in heavy rain and traffic.Once we were home,We just dumped our luggage and watched sci-fi "The Andromeda Strain". Toto had to go to work wednesday morning finally.
Got loads of laundry to do. Waiting for this weekend to go to Chak De Boston.
