Aside from getting a flat tire on the highway in Washington DC at midnight, (watch those potholes!), it was lovely to get away from the snow for a few days. My husband had some business in Williamsburg, Virginia. Their spring seems to be slow starting too but it was definitely in the air. Doesn’t this macaroni and cheese look delicious? It was!

I’ve always wanted to see Williamsburg so I enjoyed the lovely photographs. I love the gardens divided into sections. It is so interesting. Virginia is a long way from northern Illinois and if I was alone in Washington, DC and got a flat tire…I would be scared!

It is really beautiful there, especially in the spring and early summer. i love those orderly colonial gardens too. It was really scary going flat there. Lots of cars were pulled over with flat tires, the potholes were terrible. Many of the hotels had no vacancies and having the dogs with us complicated things a bit but all’s well that ends well.

Sorry, I didn’t get the recipe! I’ve never been to the west coast. My daughter visited California and said it is very different. She thought I would love Carmel by the Sea. Some day..

thanks! Really, traveling 70 mph with the roads so damaged is dangerous! they should at least reduce the limits or give motorists a heads up somehow.

It hasn’t been happening as much lately, but a lot of people did wind up with disabled cars. I wonder if they could sue…. I mean some holes were knee-deep and wide as well. Impossible to avoid unless you knew it was coming. Yes, very dangerous.
