Did we miss 395?
So, the EROS trip to Arlington to help volunteer for NOVAM was today. NOVAM stands for Northern Virginia AIDS Ministry, and basically we were going down to deliver Turkey and all the trimmings for Thanksgiving dinner to some of its members. Originally, there were going to be 7 of us, but there ended up only being three. That was all right though. We started out at around 4:30. So, we headed along 50 west, until we got to DC. Then we started looking for the 395 junction, which is where the title came in. We had Mapquest directions, and as any of you who have used Mapquest before know, that is just -asking- for trouble. @_@ Anyway, we did manage to find 395, eventually, and once we got on it, we almost immediately got stuck in the
TRAFFIC JAM OF DOOM!
We moved about 7 miles in the space of half an hour. If that. I think it's because we hit rush hour traffic. Anyway, we finally managed to -get- into Virginia, and after more traffic, we managed to get off of 395 (which was a rather big relief) and find the NOVAM place. So, we pick up the turkeys, and the trimmings, and then we head out to deliver the turkeys. We got turned around a few times, but I think that's because it was dark, and raining, and the weather was all around just icky. -_-;;; But it was fun anyway. All of the people we delivered Turkeys to were rather happy, and one lady even gave us hugs. ^_^ It was nice.
After we finished delivering the Turkeys, we headed back to WAC, stopping at the Double T Diner in Annapolis for a rather late dinner. That was fun. It was rather good too, though considering that all of us were pretty hungry, just about everything on the menu looked good. We got back about half an hour ago, maybe a little more.
That was my big thing of the day. I get to go home for Thanksgiving after my two classes tomorrow. I would have four, but one was cancelled, and the other one is optional, so I'm cutting out after my second class. The parking lot around here already looks like a ghost town. @_@ This is going to be weird... especially since I was just home a few days ago.
