For spring break my parents came out to visit, since i was stressed about coming home and making it back for a test on Mon. It was so great to see them and get to hang out. We went to Washing D.C. for the week. And, yes, it was that cold. my face obviously tells the story. some "spring" break. We had a blast though. We walked a million miles, i think, waundering through as many smithsonians as we could. we each had our favorite places. i think mine was the museum of natural history. i noticed throughout our trip that everything i knew about, i learned from a movie or T.V. show. "night at the museum"- the natural history museum, wash DC in general, the West Wing, the Maryland school of arts- Step Up. Good thing i actually went there in person, so i could learn some "real" history. we had a blast, and it was a good trip. other than that, i'm still studying...... but only 4 weeks till the end of this semester!!! halalujah, i'm not sure how much longer i could sit in that seat, it has been a year. A year already, crazy! i'll be home before you know it.

George and I have the same idea about how life should be lived at home. This is Mount Vernon on the Potomic river

We went to the Museum of Natural History and it was AWESOME!! we went during the day though, so everything was in it's place and frozen. I didn't see Mr "you dumb dumb, me want gum gum" though. I should have thought about that while we were there.

This was as close as we got to the white house, but that's ok. i felt like CJ.... I've seen her walking down the street in, what looks like weather almost exactly like we had, in a West Wing episode. I kept looking for my friends, CJ, Josh, Sam, but i didn't see anyone. I guess they were all busy working hard.

O man, this was a phenomanol experience right here. We were looking in the space shuttle thing, and dad just kept trying to look closer and closer until WHAP! he smacked his head on the protective plastic. ha ha ha that was funny. it was so funny i had to take a picture. good times!
