That was my favorite part. "THE FAKE COLOR THEY CHOSE LOOKS JUST LIKE THE FAKE COLOR WE CHOSE!!!"
Don't you just love this party? Everything's so fancy, and there's some kind of hot cheese over there.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I can't explain it, but do you have a more concrete address? I mostly know old Alexandria.
Is it really 8 hours by car? Ack. (Last time I was in boston was '94 or '95 and I took the train from NC. It may have been overnight, I don't recall.) I'm thinking train couldn't be more than 8 hours to Union Station, but I may be delusional.

The train might well be shorter, but also more expensive than flying. Flying's not too expensive, but necessitates renting a car once I get there. Put that together with a hotel...

Would it really need a car? I mean, sure, easier, but can you work the wimpy public transit of DC? All the times I've been to Alexandria, I've walked or cabbed, so... Depends on the trip.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's more than 8 hours driving Boston to DC, I'm pretty sure. Although, my driving experience is mostly as a little kid, so we stopped more than I would now.

OK, I've never driven. And honestly, I've only been to NYC via train, and Boston from NC so I have NO CLUE.

If I stay at the pricey hotel, I probably could make do without a car. But it's quite pricey.

My dad can drive DC-Boston in 8 hours, but he's insane. It's closer to 9 for a normal person.
If I were just going for a weekend, I'd probably fly, just because Amtrak is so ridiculously expensive these days.

Emily, where's the wedding? You might find a cheaper hotel close by.
