At our first destination

We definitely made a great choice to Couch Surf. Our first host family is a most wonderful couple, mother-in-law, and two friendly and outgoing kids (well one kid, the other is a college student). Anyway, we had a vegan dinner (because the youngest kid wanted to go vegetarian and also wanted to check out being a vegan). It was wonderful! And that's coming from a meat and potatoes guy trying to go more towards vegetarian. Our wonderful host Carlos made the dinner (a plantain lasagna with brocolli and soy cheese on top with a side of blue and white roasted potatoes). Beyond the food, the conversations have been awesome. A very open minded family and just genuinely warm people. And Rhiannon is a big hit with them all! Alex fit right in with the college kid (they both are tech/science types). Corinne and I got along great with everyone and really enjoyed our conversations. Tomorrow we'll have breakfast with them and then be on our way. I'll post when I can or at the end of the day tomorrow as we have a big day ahead of us: One stop at a store in Tysons Corner, VA, then on to Liberty Park to view the Statue of Liberty, then to our next Couch Surfing host in Rye, NY (a french couple). I can't believe this is this precursor to Life Rocks! It's like Dayna's intentions have spread all the way down here! :)
