We have been visiting my brother JJ and his family in Virginia this weekend. He has recently moved here to start a new position in the US Coast Guard. On Saturday we attended the US Coast Guard picnic day to celebrate the birthday of the Coast Guard. It was fantastic! They really put on a good spread! There was plenty for the kids to do, lots of great food, and the kids even got to watch a CG helicopter land and sit in the helicopter...I'll post some pictures when I can.
Yesterday we attended Capitol Hill Baptist Church. We enjoyed our visit there. (Our new Pastor at Twynholm has just come from this church) After church we did a quick change of clothes and started our hike through the D.C. area. We saw the Capitol Building, ate lunch at the Native American Indian museum, went on a carousel ride, walked through the Air and Space museum, dashed through the 'Dinosaur Museum', went into the Smithsonian to see the Jim Henson - Muppet Exhibit, walked up to the Washington Monument, walked past the White House, then walked to Union Station where we got the Metro back to our car which was parked near CHBC.
We made it back home finally around 8:30 and we were all exhausted!
I will post pictures when I can...I've got to go and get ready for today's excursions!!!

Sounds like you guys have been having a blast in D.C. Can't wait to see pictures! The house is quiet, yet lonely without your "clan" here. :) Avonlea can't wait until all her "friends" return. See you all soon.
