"You are going to miss your turn!"

Fitz became frustrated, "I am not going to miss my turn. I wish you would stop side seat driving!"

She rolled her eyes, "I have to side seat drive because you keep missing your turns. Now we are going to be late."

Turning left, "We are not going to be late. Besides you are the reason I made the wrong turn. Who says go right when they mean left?"

Tapping on the window, "I do. I told you that I have a hard time differentiating from my left and my right when making split decisions. Turn in the parking garage."

"Where do you think I am going, Liv." He turns into the garage, "It's hard for me to believe that you are a well-educated person and you don't know your right from your left."

Huffing at him, "I didn't say I don't know my right from my left. I said I can't differentiate between them when making split second decisions."

Grabbing the parking ticket out of the machine, "That is just a fancy word for not knowing."

She scoffed, "This is rich coming from the man who can't listen to music while trying to navigate through the city."

Looking for a parking space, "I turned down the music so that I could concentrate. I had to after I asked my wife which way do I turn and she says right; then when I go right, she yells at me and says I should have turned left."

"Next time let me drive then we wouldn't have this problem."

Shaking his head, "No, you are liable to have a contraction and kill us both."

Mumbling under her breath, "Your driving is what's going to kill us both."

Parking the car, "Whatever, Liv. Now we are here with 15 minutes to spare. That should be enough time for us to walk to the check-in point."

"Finally. This is going to be a long two weeks with you and your driving."

He laughed as she got out the car. They had been arguing since they left the city. They were officially on the honeymoon/East Coast tour. Fitz was the driver while Liv was the navigator. He quickly found one of his wife's weakness. She confided in him after he turned the wrong way that she has to mentally say the Pledge of Allegiance to know which is her right hand. He laughed because he thought she was joking. She got defensive because she thought he was mocking her. She started doing little things to annoy him on purpose during their drive from New York City to Philadelphia. They had a 1 pm Constitutional Walking Tour. They left early this morning but with the frequent stops for Liv to use the restroom and with them missing turns, they were cutting it close to their tour time.

She stomped off from him. It was more of a waddle but she didn't wait for him. He locked up the car double checking to make sure he had the keys and his wallet. He ran up to catch up at the elevators. He grabbed her hand and held it tight as she tried to yank it from his. He smirked because she was cute when she pouted. Once the doors opened, they stepped inside and pressed the lobby button.

Fitz had a smug look on his face as he watched her purposely ignore him. He leaned down and kissed her neck on her most sensitive spot. He whispered, "I still love you even if you can't differentiate from your right and left."

She softened up with a little smile, "Are you going to stop being mean to me then?"

Mumbling in her ear, "Yes, I will try not to make fun of you. Do you still love me?"

She turned and kiss his lips, "I will always love you."

The doors opened and the pulled apart. Fitz looked around, "Where do we go?"

She pointed to the building across the street, "We need to check-in outside the Constitutional Museum which is over there."

Wanting to get a last joke in, "You sure it's there and not behind us. You don't have the best sense of direction." He took off running out the door before she could hit him.

He was laughing hard when she finally caught up with him. She playfully punched him as they walked across the street holding hands. They introduced themselves to other tour participants that were waiting at the check-in point. At 1pm the park ranger showed up and took them on the tour. The tour was a total of 1.25 miles. They walked in one huge circle block and learned the history of America's Birthplace. The tour lasted 75 minutes. Liv stopped and sat down a few times when they paused for pictures. Fitz had his selfie stick and they took pictures to document this experience. Liv was in awe of the amount of history that took place in this small area.

They stood outside Independence Hall and Liv was so moved just looking at it. She whispered to Fitz, "It's amazing to be here looking at this building knowing that this is where our Founding Fathers drafted and signed the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. It's even more eye-opening to know that when they drafted the Constitution and said 'We the People', they did not mean me or my ancestors. Slaves were considered 3/5 of a person but a slave woman was considered less than that. It's just…" She was speechless.

They walked around with the group. They held hands and Fitz listened to the tour guide as well as Liv. It was surreal to see how much knowledge of history she had stored. Fitz was never into history. He actually slept in class because he found it boring but he has a new appreciation for it. It's different on paper than seeing it live and in color.

After the tour, they drove to Geno's to get their famous Philly Cheesesteak. Fitz ordered while Liv sat at the table waiting for him. They talked and chatted over their lunch. After their lunch, they went to the Philadelphia Museum of Art which had the famous Rocky Stairs from the 'Rocky' movies. Liv stood halfway up the stairs and recorded Fitz's reenactment of running up the stairs like Rocky. They then took a picture by the iconic Rocky statue that is at the base of museum.

They then drove to Lincoln Financial Field which is the home of the Philadelphia Eagles. They took several pictures before they drove 5 hours to Pittsburgh to Heinz Field home of the Pittsburgh Steelers. They checked into the Holiday Inn and called it a night.

After ordering delivery from Primanti Bros., they rested on the bed where Liv was sitting up with her Atlas studying the map. Fitz was laid back with his eyes close but he wasn't sleep. He was tired from all the driving and walking even though this was only the first day.

Liv had her phone double checking routes, "I think we should have left from Philadelphia going to Maryland. That route would have been more efficient then we could have hit Pittsburgh on our way back to New York."

Laid back with his eyes still closed, "Baby, we talked about this. We are just going to wing it and see where the road takes us. We are not on anyone's schedule but ours. Everything doesn't have to be planned out."

Trying to get her point across, "Yeah but we drove 5 hours-"

Fitz quickly sat up. He grabbed her Atlas and threw it on the floor. He took her phone and put it on the nightstand. He then pulled her into his arms and laid back in the bed, "Now, did you have a good time today?"

She smiled, "Yes, I had the best time."

He kissed her cheek, "Then that is all that matters. You and me together having a great time with each other. I don't care if we drive 10 hours out the way. The destination is not important. It's all about the journey. So stop micromanaging and let it flow. Okay. It's too early for you to drive me insane."

She pinched his arm, "You are the one that has been driving me insane with your nitpicking about my pregnancy."

He nodded, "I did but now that I have stopped doing that, everything is going great between us. Whatever happens, happens. Okay?"

"Okay, Big Head."

"That's my Livvie."

They shared a laugh and really this was what the trip was about: laughing, loving and being together.

Fitz, with his sunglasses on, turned on the front-facing camera on his iPhone and pressed record while in video mode, "Hello Family and Friends. This is day two," He held up two fingers, "Of the Grant's East Coast trip. Right now, the Missus and I," He turned the camera to face Liv, "That's the Missus." He turned it back towards him, "Right now we are headed to Baltimore, Maryland."

Liv started singing, "Good Morning Baltimore!"

Fitz laughed into the camera, "That is from the movie, Hairspray. Before you ask how I know that, Yes, my wife made me watch it with her."

She pinched his cheek, "You know you love that movie."

Fitz sighed, "Anyway, we are the I-76 East leaving Pittsburgh headed to Baltimore. We have been on the road for about an hour. As you can see, I am in the passenger seat while my lovely wife drives. Yesterday my wife brought to my attention that since we have dated, I have never let her drive. So today my wife is driving because I will do anything to make her happy." He turned the camera to show Liv driving with her sunglasses on smiling.

He turned the camera back towards him, "Now many of you may not know this but my wife lived in Europe until she was 14. In Europe, people drive on the left side of the road. Here in America, we drive on the right side of the road. When driving on the highway, the left lane should only be used for passing slower moving cars on your right. It is a huge pet peeve of mine when people ride in the left lane for no apparent reason."

He paused and put his hand under his chin for dramatic effect, "Now my wife has been driving for an hour. Of that hour, all 60 freaking minutes, she has been riding in the passing lane." He turned the camera to rear-facing to show the road, "Look at this. There are no cars around us. There is no one to pass. Why is she still in this lane?" He turned the camera to face Liv, "Mrs. Grant, what do you have to say for yourself?"

She put her blinker on and changed to the right lane, "Are you happy now, Ass? All you had to do was say something, you big jerk? T'es rien qu'un petit connard!" (You are really an asshole!)

He turned the camera to face him with a smirk on his face, "Ut oh, she is talking in French. That can't be good. You will have to excuse my wife. I think she has Tourette's or something because she always calls me 'ass' or 'jerk.' She says things like 'you get on my nerves.' I know she doesn't mean it so I will overlook her outburst."

She grumbled, "You should overlook your face."

Fitz sighed, "Ok, I am done annoying my lovely wife and because I was an ass to her, I will tell her that I am taking her to see the Ringling Brothers Circus tonight at 7pm plus dinner at a restaurant of her choice."

Liv squealed happily. She kissed his cheek.

Fitz smiled, "Now that I am back in her good grace, I will end this video and enjoy some quality time with my family. Until next time, bye people."

Liv yelled, "bye."

After finally making it to Baltimore, they took pictures outside of M&T Bank Stadium, Home of the Baltimore Ravens. After doing some sight-seeing, shopping and dinner, they went to the circus. This was Liv's very first circus and she was super excited. She was like a big kid and she loved her husband for surprising her. If this is what winging things felt like, then she was on board.

Later that night after making love twice, they were both reading comments on their Facebook pages from the video that Fitz uploaded. They laughed at the comment from Kat that said, 'Fitz, if you bother Liv again, I will come find you and give you a spanking.'

Liv looked at Fitz, "I guess she told you."

Sitting on a picnic blanket in the middle of the park with Liv leaning back on his chest in between his legs, Fitz pressed record on the video, "Hello, everyone. This is day three." He and Liv both hold of three fingers, "Right now we are in Annapolis, Maryland. My wife enjoyed her first circus last night and she also had some famous Maryland Crab cakes, which were awesome." He turned to the rear-facing camera, "As you can see, we are in a park. We are at Quiet Waters Park enjoying a nice wonderful picnic that I had planned for my bride thanks to the concierge at our hotel." He turned the camera back to face them, "I am so happy to be married to this wonderful woman and I intend to spoil her with my love."

Liv spoke to the camera, "Thanks to everyone who felt that I should have punched him for his video yesterday. It's nice to know I have people who will have my back if he steps out of line again."

They both laughed. Fitz kissed her jaw, "Yes, I will treat her like the Queen that she is from now on."

Liv smiled, "That's right."

Fitz looked at the camera, "Ok, this is our check-in video for today. We are heading to DC where we will stay for 3 days compliments of Liv's job. We will take in a few sight and monuments so until next time. We are the Grants."

Liv waved, "Bye."

Fitz uploaded the video and then they packed up. They drove the 30 something miles to DC. They went by FedEx Field, Home of the Washington Redskins. Then they checked in at the Capital Hilton around 3 pm. They changed into something casual and comfortable for walking. They took in a few sights like the Lincoln Memorial and a few war memorials before calling it a night.

Smiling into the camera with his sunglasses on, he spoke in a soft voice, "Day 4, peoples. We are here at Arlington National Cemetery. We are going to the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier." He turned the camera to rear-facing showing various headstones that lined the cemetery, "It is a surreal sight to see all of these soldiers who dedicated their lives to this country."

He turned the camera back towards him, "As you can see, we are standing still. We are waiting for the shuttle to take up to the top of the hill. I can't have my wife going into preterm labor trying to get up these hills." He showed Liv who was standing to his side looking out ahead. "She is so amazing. I don't know what I would do without her."

She turned and smiled at him. She gave him a kiss then he finished his video, "Okay. That's the check-in for the day. We will see you later."

They rode the shuttle to their destination. It was an eye-opening experience to see the precision and honor each soldier had when they did their duty as honor guards of the tomb. After watching for about 30 minutes, they walked towards President Kennedy's grave. They had a pleasant conversation on the slow walk over.

Fitz was trying to wrap his head around the information she told him, "So those guards are on duty 24/7, 365 days a year. They never leave their post."

Hold his hand, "Never. They sign an 18-month detail agreement. Their sole focus is the guard the tomb."

Fitz shook his head, "So they can't leave their post no matter what?"

Liv laughed, "They could be issued an order to leave if the weather is deemed to be hazardous or life-threatening but they have never issued that type of order. Someone has been on guard every second since 1937."

In awe, "Wow, you are just a walking encyclopedia of history facts."

She laughed, "Give me a break. I told you that I was a nerd. All I did was read and sing. I love History."

They came upon President Kennedy's grave which housed 4 graves in a circle. Wanting to test her knowledge, "So what can you tell me about these?"

She cleared her throat, "Ok, President Kennedy was assassinated in 1963. He was buried here at Arlington and Mrs. Kennedy requested that their two deceased children, Arabella-their stillborn daughter (1956) and their son, Patrick-he was premature and survived for two days (1963), be moved here to be with their father. They were both exhumed and buried here on December 5, 1963. The cemetery constructed a more permanent gravesite and this is the final product. They exhumed all their bodies and moved them to this permanent spot in March of 1967. The final cost of the entire project was roughly $2.2 million. Mrs. Kennedy was buried next to her husband in May 1994."

He looked from the grave to her after she finished talking, "How the hell do you know all of those dates and facts?"

She shrugged, "I studied. His assassination is one of life's greatest conspiracies. I used to watch anything that came on TV about him and the Titanic."

He frowned his face at her, "The Titanic? What is there to watch about it? It hit an iceberg and sank. End of the story."

She rolled her eyes as they walked away, "The Titanic was one of the biggest ships known to man. They said it was unsinkable because it was supposed to be able to stay afloat if the first five compartments were flooded."

Fitz waited impatiently, "Ok, so what happened?"

She took a deep breath and thought. She wanted to explain it in a way he would understand, "Okay. It is believed that if it had hit the iceberg head-on, she wouldn't have sunk. Only the first two or three compartments would have been damaged but she would have still been able to stay afloat. But because she turned and was hit on the side, it punctured holes into the ship, which flooded the first six compartments."

Realization hit him, "So it sunk because it flooded one compartment too many."

She smiled, "Exactly. They also later found out there was another ship in the area that could have saved more passengers but the radio guy had gone to bed. That disaster changed a few maritime laws like life vest and boats are required for every person on the ship and the communication person must be on duty 24 hours."

He looked at her a smirked, "Wow, you are a huge nerd. The only thing missing is your glasses."

She pushed him, "Shut up."

He looked back at Kennedy's grave and then at Liv. He sighed aggravatedly, "What I don't get is why would Mrs. Kennedy be buried by her husband after she had already remarried? Wouldn't she want to be buried by her second husband?"

Liv tilted her head in a thinking manner, "One could argue that he was her true love. You could say that she wanted more people to view her grave and what better place than to be buried by him. Maybe she married her second husband for companionship or money. Who knows?"

He looked at her and spoke softly, "If you remarried, would you want to be buried by me if I died first?"

Liv felt uncomfortable, "I don't want to talk about this anymore."

Clearly missing her cues, Fitz pressed on, "Come on Liv. I played your hypothetical game a few weeks ago. Just indulge me a little."

She yanked her hand away from him and spun around to face yelling at him, "I don't want to think about it! That is not something I ever want to think about! You dying and leaving me is not something I ever want to think about, ok! You are my world and my life! I don't want to be without you so listen to me when I say, I don't want to talk about this anymore!"

She turned and walked away from him. He finally caught up with her as they waited at the shuttle pickup. He stood behind her holding her with his hand on her stomach. After a few minutes, she turned to face him and pull his forehead down to hers, "I'm sorry for yelling at you. I didn't mean to get upset like that. The thought of not being with you just made me emotional." She looked into his eyes, "Do you forgive me?"

He kissed her nose, "There is nothing to forgive. We are here and we are together. That is all that matters."

She smiled, "Yes indeed."

Liv smiled into the camera, "Hello everyone. It is Day 5 and I have received a few text messages asking if we were okay because we haven't posted a video yet. I want to say that we are doing fine. This is our last day in DC and it has been a busy morning. We have been to so many places including the Capitol Building and the White House. Right now it is 3 pm and we are at the National Air and Space Museum." She flipped the camera to the rear to show what was around them.

She showed her husband looking at something with a huge smile on his face, "There is my hubby with the big Kool-Aid smile on his face."

He turned to face her. He was so giddy and excited, "Babe, do you know what this is?" He turned backed to look at the artifact.

Liv turned the camera to face her and whispered, "I do know what it is but I will let him tell me since he is so excited." She turned the camera to face him and smiled sweetly, "No babe, what is it?"

He faced her but pointed at the artifact, "This is the Lunar Module that landed on the moon. It was a part of Apollo 11 when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon. This is incredible. I didn't know they had this here." He walked off in a trance staring at the sight before him with the biggest smile on his face.

Liv had the camera on him the entire time so that everyone could see how happy her husband is. She got choked up a little as she whispered to the camera, "I once read a quote that said, 'Love is a condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.' Looking at his smile lets me know that I am definitely in love."

She wiped her eyes and turned the camera back to face her, "So to everyone who was worried, we are safe and happy. Until tomorrow. Bye." She waved and turned off the camera then uploaded it to Facebook.

They toured this Smithsonian and a few others. Liv body couldn't take anymore walking so they decided to call it a night.

Fitz was sitting down on a bench outside the Williamsburg Premium Outlets. He had his sunglasses on with his camera ready to record, "Hey Everybody, Day 6 and I am tired." He laughed, "We are in Williamsburg, Virginia. This morning we went to Mount Vernon, the home of George Washington. We have toured and seen parts of the Williamsburg Settlements. Now, my wife has me at this outlet mall shopping. It says there are over 135 stores here and I believe that my wife is trying to go into all of them. I pray that I survive and I really look forward to tomorrow when we get to relax. We love you guys and miss you. We have one more week then it's back to the real world. Bye!" Fitz waved to the camera and turned it off then uploading to Facebook.

Liv came out the store with two bags adding them to the bags that were by Fitz's feet. She smiled, "Babe, you got to see what I bought the kids. It is really cute."

Fitz started pouting and whining, "Baby, how much longer are we going to be here? You have bought the kids some many things and they aren't even here. You have been on your feet too much lately. I think we should rest."

She looked around the outlet then back at him, "Okay, 2 more stores then we can go."

Five stores later they were finally leaving the outlets headed to the hotel. Fitz decided they should stay at a B&B instead of a regular hotel. Tomorrow, they were going to relax and do nothing. He felt that they should just enjoy each other's company with no place in particular to be. He loved Olivia to death but he has had enough history lessons for the week. He just wanted to enjoy being with his wife.

When they finally made it to the room, they laid out on the bed. Both of them just happy to breathe but also lay in a nice comfortable bed. After a few minutes, Liv brought Fitz's hand to her mouth and kissed it, "Thank you. This has been the best experience of my life."

He rolled over to face her and smiled, "Really? I would think this trip paled in comparison to seeing the Eiffel Tower, all of Rome, and Germany."

She gave him a small kiss on the lips, "It's not the places that make this trip memorable, it's you. I get to see all these wonderful places with my husband. That is what makes it special."

He placed his hand on her stomach, "Never in my wildest dream did I ever picture my life this way. So happy and content. Sometimes you make me so angry and other times you make me feel so blessed and loved. I never knew that a simple smile on your face could change my whole outlook on life. You are my life and there is nowhere in this world that I would rather be than right here by your side. I tell you this all the time but I truly mean it. You and our kids are my life. I don't want you to ever doubt my love for you."

She pulled his lips to hers slowly kissing him as if he was the oxygen she needed to survive. At that moment it seemed like one lifetime of loving him wouldn't be long enough but she was going to enjoy whatever time they had.

Exhaustion finally took over. She changed out of her clothes and climbed into bed letting sleep take over. Fitz called his mother to touch base with her before finally climbing into bed and cuddling with his wife.
