Today we went to Arlington National Cemetery. We watched the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknowns.

The National Cathedral. Then we took a break at the hotel for a swim and dinner.

And we hit The Lincoln Memorial at night (as well as the Jefferson Memorial and Vietnam Memorial)

What do you do when you have a tornado watch and don't have a basement?? We went into this closet in the hall closet it's under the stairs. brought the kids dogs and me in there. The winds were bad and the rain was bad too. but nothing was damaged.

Another car repair. But at least it is cheaper than car payments.

Maureen, Annie and Farrell did such a wonderful job in the play last night! We are all so proud! The last picture is of the set that Farrell just put in place!

We started our day at the Museum of Natural History. Here is Cole in a crystal ball.

Then we went to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. We got to see how they make our paper currency.

It was raining when we left the BEP so we ducked into the Holocaust museum. After the rain subsided we went to the Museum of American History. And, then before we collapsed we went to the top of the Washington monument.

I took Aunt Mary Lou with me to grocery shop at Aldi's. She had mentioned the other day that she has not been to a store in a long time. It took one hour to get through the store.

We were invited by the Cougars to Fantasy Day at the stadium. Joe participated in batting practice and catching in the outfield. This is Joe getting his standing ovation! : )

Our first tourist stop of the day was the White House. While we were in the visitors center we ran into a family that I know from Geneva (it was very weird).

Waiting for "the Metro"

After our day sightseeing we swam and chilled by the pool. Here we are playing a card game while we wait for our dinner.

Annie's 'Hooverville' costume. She's wearing a hat that her Aunt Betty made!

Our neighbor gave us some veggies from their garden today! Yum!

Colleen July 27, 2010

I broke my rule about not taking work home with me. My 'to do' pile at work is getting so big and so disorganized that some things don't get done on time. So I am spending a short amount of time to get it sorted out.
