Family Ties

Mike's Mom, Dad, and little sister Amanda flew into town last Saturday. We were so excited to have family stay with us. It was so much fun to show them D.C., Old Town and other places.

Saturday Night we hit up Mai Thai in Old Town for some grub. I was a little hestitant with my new diet, but all was well. After that we went home since it had been a long trip.

Sunday morning we all went to church. After a Sunday nap we headed to Skyline Drive and had a picnic there before heading home. The colors were amazing, and glad that the leaves put on a show for the family.

Monday I had to go to work but caught up with them after their trip to Mt. Vernon. We went up to Northwest D.C. by the national catherdral and had dinner at Catus Cantina.

Tuesday and Wednesday I went along for some tourist stuff with them. Went on the capital tour, and to the Library of Congress. I found the Library very intersting and need to go back and get a Library card soon.

Thurday we headed up to Gettysburg and did a 2 1/2 hr. tour with some guide in our car. Too much information. My mind went A.D.D for a while, but overall a very neat experience. I was touched by the lives that were lost for our freedom. Whe we got home, Mike who had to work that day, had made us a wonderful dinner! I would have to say his cooking skills have definatly improved since he's been married.

Friday went shopping with Amanda in Gerogetown. Had tons of fun with her, and miss her dearly. We went to Peking Gourmet Inn for dinner. If you havent been there I def. recommend it. One of my favorite places to go around here. The duck is wonderful.

Saturday they all went home, and I was sad to see them go. It was so wonderful to have the family in town.
