Delightful D.C., Day Three
Previous recaps: Day One Day Two Our third and final morning in D.C. began with blue skies and a tour of the Capitol! Since this trip was pretty last minute, I wasn’t sure that we’d be able to get a tour. I’d heard that you needed to go through a Representative or Senator, but fortunately […]
Delightful D.C., Day Two
Fourth of July in D.C. was great, but if possible day two was even more patriotic. We woke up bright and early – as in, 5:45 am – to get a jump start on what would prove to be one of the most jam-packed days of sightseeing we’ve ever had. If you read any of […]
Delightful D.C., Day One

Happy 20th Birthday, Eric!
20 years ago today… I hung out with my mom’s friend Karen, waiting for a call from the hospital. Karen gave me a brunette Barbie doll, and I thought that was awesome. But it wasn’t as awesome as the blue-green scrubs that said “Big Sister” on the back. It wasn’t as awesome as the moment […]
