Despite the Obama overload, Brian and I had a really good time in Washington D.C. Thanks to his teams' good work on a project at Textron, he and his boss were sent to D.C. to represent the company at an awards ceremony. I tagged along for some touring and we met up Linda and Jamie.
Our favorite sites were the Holocaust Museum, Mount Vernon, and Arlington Cemetary. The part that really hit home was when we exited the museum....there were 2 rooms with shoes piled high and covering the entire room...shoes of Jews that were killed by caloused Nazis. I don't know how anyone can not come out of that museum and changed person. It's amazing to think someone that cruel could rise into power and get that many followers to do unthinkable inhumane things.
Linda and Jamie introduced us to some great pizze (Uno's) and we rode a double decker tour bus to see all the sites of the city. It was great to see Straight-A-Jam-ay again. She just finished her PhD and we're very proud of her. Again...she aced her way through everything! Good job Jamie!

Sherrie,
I have been thinking about you and just happened to check your blog.
So happy to see you and Brian got to take a trip to D.C. together. How fun! Tell Brian congrats on the project, miss you all! Hope to see you this summer! Brinlee was just talking about riding the bus with Micaela today... lots of good memories! Tell the kids hello for us.
It looks like ya'll had a great time in D.C. Lots of neat things to see!
SME, I didn't know you were meeting Jamie out there. It is always nice to go places and have a built-in tour guide that knows the area. I am glad y'all got a chance to get away. I am feeling the need for a weekend away myself. Have fun in Zion.
I really want to go on a trip to DC. I think it would be so neat. Glad you two were able to go and spend some time together. With ya'lls luck I am surprised the double decker bus didn't tip over on you. Just Kidding!
