D.C.

Well as you all know we have been in D.C. for a few days now. So far so good, we have really had a good time the last couple of days. We are so happy with the location of our apartment. It couldn't be any closer to all the downtown sights, and is right above a metro station. So far we have been able to go to a couple of exhibits at the Natural History & American History Smithsonian Museums, find Kevin's work, and get comfortable with the metro system riding it to Columbia Park, Maryland to go to Target. Tonight we are excited to go watch the new Night at the Museum at the Museum! All the people we have come in contact with have been super nice and helpful. Yesterday, though the funniest thing happen we were stopped at a hot dog stand, and we watched this homeless guy and a Chinese stand worker get in a fight! It was pretty entertaining!!!!

Kevin & Porter outside the Thurgood Marshall Federal Judiciary Building, this is where Kev will be working for the summer!!!





















Kevin and Porter waiting for the Metro, Kevin looks like a homeless man with his cart! However, we had to get one of these because we don't have a care and it makes carrying groceries back and forth alot easier.

We made it........

Well we finally made it to D.C. and it was a crazy ride!! I learned very quick don't take your baby on a red eye at 1:00 in the morning! We thought it would be a good idea, well it wasn't. The ride to Atlanta was quite the adventure, but we got through it! We arrived in D.C. around one in the afternoon. Our apartment is smack in the middle of downtown, we couldn't have asked for a better location. We live across from the Art Smithsonian Museum, and just a quick walk away from sites such as; the national mall, and Ford Theatre! I will make sure and post lots of pictures as we go sight seeing!

So Long UTAH!!!!

Tonight we leave Utah and head for the big city. We have really enjoyed our little vaction back home! Nothing beats time with family, you really learn to appreciate them when your gone! We have had so much fun with both sides of the family and will miss them while we are away! However, we are super excitied for D.C. and this little adventure of ours! Wish us luck, we will need it!
