Fidgiegirl, I started looking today at a trip to DC to visit our son in October - the Megabus to Chicago and Amtrak from Chicago to DC cuts the expenses in less than 1/2. The beauty of amtrak is that you can get a full refund if you cancel your trip before picking up your ticket - if you have picked up your ticket, there is a 10% fee.
Spent the day writing thank you notes to family who went out of their way for us during the reunion. Stopped by the library to work on the on-going book sale donations. Baked potatoes for twice-baked potatoes before it got way too hot!!
