We are in Washington, DC for the next little while. Toben has been working with DCLA, an evangelism training event for students. This weekend is the DC part, so we all came along for fun. Toben's mostly working, but did take a walk with us to the White House earlier this afternoon. And we all had dinner together (more in a minute).
I love being in a big city. It always reminds me of living in Paris after we graduated from college. I get a crick in my neck from looking up at the buildings so much! I love that all of the old buildings are engraved with their names, so you can say, "Look! It's the Treasury" or "Hey! There's the Department of the Interior."
Toben left us at the White House and the girls and I found a shady spot at the Ellipse (a circle-shaped grass park) in front of the White House. The kids ran around (so much for being soooo tired and unable to walk any further!) and then we sat and worked on our travel journals. I love seeing the kinds of things the girls want to include. Audrey made a list of all the things she'd do if she were president, and Emma drew a wonderful picture of a cherry tree in bloom.
Tonight we met my Aunt Judy for dinner near the National Cathedral. My dad just happened to be in town so he came too. I've not spent much time with Aunt Judy in my lifetime, but I really like her and think we could be great friends. Her schedule is kind of packed while we're here, but I'm hoping we can get together again to hang out. She's part of this great artists' co-op called The Torpedo Factory. I'm excited to go check it out--online for sure, and maybe even in person.
After dinner, we went to the National Cathedral. Judy sings in the Cathedral Choral Society and they were rehearsing for a concert on Saturday. So we wandered around and listened for a while. I would love to go to a big church like this; we may have to see about going to a service on Sunday.
Tomorrow I think we're off to the American History Museum to see Dorothy's ruby slippers...
Ditto. It is so fun to see pictures of your family every day. I feel connected even though I am not there. Much Love!

We use a young founder that is working overtime, without pay, and has to count on volunteers' good faith to have anything done not fake the lenders couldn't consider the likelihood of selling loans for the non property holders without receiving any mortgage and also the procedure was long to process the borrowed funds application.
