Washington DC
As soon as you arrive in washington you realize what an important place it is. The streets are clean ,all of the buildings have something to do with the federal government and there are cops everywhere! The area we were staying in was only a few blocks ...
Day 42, 43 & 44: We love Washington DC
Washington DC is fantastic! Why doesn't everybody rave about it?? Or maybe they do, and we just never noticed, but Matt and I agree that it's probably one of our top 1 or 2 places visited, not at all what we expected.[We were thinking ...
Washington DC
April 5 We just arrived in our hotel in Clearfieldd Pensilvania. After hours of driving through small towns and nothingness, well, we haven't gotten through that yet. We went to this fast food steak house (something I never thought I'd experience) called ...
Home Again
One flight a day direct, non-stop from Panama City to Washington 4 hours, 48 minutes in the air. Sounds great, the only problem landing at 1:00 am in the morning! Pick-up bags and go though US Customs, cab home by 3:00 am. But compared to our past ...
Happy Postscript
In Batu Karas, it was mostly a joke. We had been careless, but at nearly 35, surely I would not get pregnant from just a teeny, tiny little...how to put it...change of routine. In Yogyakarta, the jokes became more nervous, and I began to punctuate them ...
Rocky Mountain hi (5)
(Friday 1st September Last minute decision to take a detour into Yellowstone National Park North East entrance and to camp overnight at Mammoth Hot Springs. Big draw was the chance to see the wildlife and the Lamar valley, the only place where it is ...
Moonlight and Monuments
We visited several places today, which D.A. and I found interesting but not so much for the kids. we thought it would be the reverse! First stop: the Postal Museum, where the kids were supposed to be able to role play being mail employees and ...
De Nada Empenada... Coming soon.
Our last day... If you can call it that. Tonight we catch a red eye from Buenos Aires to Houston, and an immediate connection back to DC, saying goodbye to several friends at each step along the way. First, we are headed to catch a train to ...
Let's Catch up!
7/6/08 As I type, the boys are enjoying a BBQ and pool party at the home of Mr. Vazirani's Parents. There is an amazing spread and everyone's in the pool (even Mr. Meyer, Mrs. Torrey, and Terri....just kidding). We have been enjoying our stay at ...
Californie, Colorado, Texas? Non, Washington!
En cherchant un camping pour la nuit, nous avons choisi le Duncan's Family Campground non pour son prix (prohibitif bien sûr…) mais pour sa navette (3$ chacun, que croyiez-vous ?) reliant le camp et le métro de Washington. Départ groupé à 9h ...
Journal Entries--JUNE
June 23, 2009 Today was a slow day in the garden, but still nice. The weather was amazing, not hot or cold and raining. After work Megan and I went on a run. We originally wanted to go to Teddy Roosevelts Island but ended up going ...

The plan for the next month - off and on the road
Jeannie here - We are in the middle of planning the trip and packing the house. I've included a photo that perfectly represents my state of mind at the moment. The exciting news is that we take off a week from Monday and head to the Galapagos for a ...
NYC to DC
New York to Washington DC - 16/03/0 I eventually picked up the RV at 1pm and set off for a short 200 mile drive to DC. It was the worst driving experience of my life! Not only was I driving a 25ft RV that weighs 10tonne (with the steering wheel on the ...
near Cathlemet, Washington
... I wanted to move inland to Mt' St' Helen's. I passed through Seaside, Gearhart, and Skipanon. Then I reached the Columbia River and Astoria. I called the Bear from a riverfront cafe. Helen answered the phone almost immediately. She must have been ...
When, where, and why?
Well, I have been unemployed now for four and a half months. When people ask, I haven't been unemployed at all. I have been applying to grad school. I have been dog-sitting (okay, once.) I have been attending to things. Getting stuff done. ...

Washington DC
We eventually decided to have a few days in Washington DC before heading home. Long flight up from Buenos Aires so a short stop-over was just what we needed. First day was a rest day and we spent most of it asleep. Next, and only full, day we did the ...
Take off!
Well, I'm sitting in my DC hotel room without internet so I'm improvising. Its 8:30AM, and while I've only gotten 6 or 7 hours of sleep (compared with my summer average of 9) I can't sleep. Its finally hitting me! I'm leaving for ...
Defeated by my own muse
I had big plans. Huge. I had half a burrito left over from lunch today (thank you Qdoba for providing such foil-wrapped over-priced tastiness right across the street from my office), and had been planning since, like, 3, to compose a series ...
Washington DC to Ft. Lauderdale
We arrived in Washington D.C. around 10:30 am only to discover that there would be more delays...so we wandered around the airport, looking for coffee, breakfast and news of when we'd be able to get back on our plane and head south. We cheered when ...
Michael watches television
All my life I have wanted to do this. This is certainly a once in a lifetime experience. First, we have to talk about the mind-blowing season finale of Lost. The jungles of the island were captivating, but what I was most suprised about ...
Going Home
The alarm went off way to early that morning. Why do planes have to leave at dark-o-clock in the morning? Our taxi we requested was even early and we made it out to the airport without any overheating happening. So, that was good. We got to the airport ...
A trip down to Washington DC
We took a Greyhound bus down to Washington DC for two nights. The bus only cost us $58 return each which was a bargain! It took about 4 and a half hours to get there and then we walked to our hotel. Helen had booked us in ...
