Today we are in Washington, DC for Jan's god-son, Fletcher Fernau's Honors Convocation, part of his graduation weekend at American University. In the photo is Jan and the Fernaus -- Mark, Gwen, Fletcher and Melissa. After the ceremony in which he received the medal he wears in the photo, we had a great dinner at an Italian restaurant.
On the way back from the restaurant, our way down Wisconsin Avenue was blocked by emergency equipment. We had to turn around and figure out how to get below the area to come back up to the hotel. It's dark. Washington is not laid out in neat rectangles and the whole area is a maze. After several attempts, we finally called on OnStar. And in ten minutes, we were safely back, guided turn by turn by voice command. It's a life-saver!
