  • Mon, 17:06: Some clouds this morning instead of the clear weekend, supposed to clear by noon-ish but keep highs down to 68.
  • Mon, 17:18: In line for Peter Pan, 30 min posted wait, we hope for shorter. It doesn't get better as the line last night at 11:45pm showed.

  • Mon, 19:43: Did single rider walk on at Matterhorn Bobsleds. That's going to be a one and done attraction--very uncomfortable vehicle, blah coaster.

  • Tue, 00:59: We split up after lunch. K energized for trading by better lanyards in DCA. I had purchases to take to hotel. I'm now headed back.
  • Tue, 01:00: Will wander in DCA as sun sets, then have World of Color at 8:15 after park closes at 8. No, doesn't make sense to me either.
  • Tue, 01:24: Pretty sure I was too late for the Carsland "lighting up" of the neon, so watched the Pixar parade close up. https://t.co/gyauosrgie

  • Tue, 03:15: So a one-and-done for Sky School. Glad it was pretty dark, or I might have embarrassed all concerned by clinging to 10 yr old next to me.
