Washington DC

It's wonderful to be here in Washington DC with our friends and sort-of relatives (we must have some relational name) but the weather here has been weirder than in Oregon. Yesterday we wished we had shorts, by the afternoon is was pouring and cool and today we wore winter hats and gloves (or at least I wished that I had gloves).

Yesterday JoAnn and I went to a photography exhibit at the Smithsonian Science museum - and the photos were fabulous. Bill and Ed went to the boat show - Bill's been telling JoAnn that Ed bought a yacht....(maybe Ed really DID buy a yacht and this is all a big joke).

and my favorite....

Today Bill and I went to the Holocaust museum. I had been there once before - it was still spell-binding. I had to drag Bill out of there so that we could take the Metro (I love the Metro) back to Arlington in time for dinner at Nam Viet.

Dinner with a 1 1/2 year old and a 3 month old is always interesting but it was still fun as there was plenty of people to keep the 1 1/2 year old entertained. (it's easy - you just let them do whatever they feel like doing) I did notice however, that this really cute little kid is capable of doing what we call 'the crocodile death roll' whereby they can escape from whomever is holding them. Ha ha! Smart kid!

Tomorrow we leave for Frankfurt, Germany and from there to Cairo. So ciao until ...Thursday?
