Hey everyone!

Sorry its been so long since our last post; we will try and post more frequently and consistently. So let's see what have we been up to...

Since I got back from Amsterdam, Steph's parents came to visit which was a lot of fun. We spent a lot of time exploring several areas of the DC area. One night we went to dinner in Georgetown and another in Alexandria. While I was at work, Steph and her parents went to the zoo and saw the pandas! We also went to a lesser known but very cool Smithsonian museum. It was the Air and Space museum located at Dulles Airport which is basically a huge hanger full of all kinds of aircraft. It houses a space shuttle, the Enola Gay(plane that dropped the first atomic bomb) along with lots of fighter planes and old WWII aircraft. Below are some of the highlights.You can find some more pictures here. You can tell from the pictures that we also showed them Roosevelt Island, which is one of our favorite places in DC.













This past weekend we took it fairly easy, which is exactly what we both needed after several hectic weeks. On Friday we tried an Indian restaruant we had never been to and it was very good, so good in fact that we wanted to go back the next night but we were able to restrain ourselves. On Saturday we got out and ventured up to Great Falls National Park. You can see some pictures of us at the falls below.















Then last night we planned to watch the Braves play the Phillies in a somewhat important game. So to ensure we could enjoy the game we made sure everything was ready for the week early in the day including: laundry, packing lunches, cleaning the apartment, ironing clothes. For the game I even spent two and half hours making my signature honey-hot wings. Once all the food was ready we turned on the TV only to see that the game was in rain delay! It didn't start until 9:45 and needless to say, we didn't see the end of the game. Oh well, at least the food was good. We'll time to go get ready for another day. Hope everyone is doing well.


Oh I almost forgot...I guess everyone who reads this probably already knows but I am an uncle again! My sister Jennifer and her husband Jeff had a baby girl two weeks ago. Her name is Kayleigh. I haven't been able to get out to Colorado to see her yet but I hope to at some point. So far I have enjoyed the pictures. Okay so really leaving now, again we will try to post more frequently.
