Hello From Virginia

Well this is the first time I have had a minute to sit down and let everyone know what we are up to. We arrived Thursday around noon, took showers, a short tour of the base, and thought we were going to be able to tour Alana and Mitch's new home but were very disappointed after waiting for an hour to find out we weren't going to be able to see it until Tuesday morning.

Today we were up and off early for our first day in DC - we saw the White House, the National Aquarium, the Washing Monument, the Vietnam Memorial, and the Lincoln Memorial. We were lucky as it was a little cooler than yesterday and while we did get sprinkled on we didn't really get rained on as was predicted. Tomorrow we are hoping to make Virgina Beach and pray that our luck will hold out and the rain will stay away!!

Am attaching a few pictures - hope you enjoy.

Sorry, looks like you are only getting the one picture today - unfortunately cannot get them to upload right. Hopefully, I will have a chance to work on it tomorrow and get the pictures up for you. Meanwhile check face book as I may have more luck there!!
