I've had more time to blog lately because we moved out of our temporary apartment and into a hotel. :(
Now we're all living in one room.
Again. :(
Without complaining too much, we just felt like the apartment management just dropped the ball one too many times, with the final straw being when they called Matt on Thursday to tell him we needed to move out of our apartment on Friday because the building had been deemed "unsafe."
Uh, scary!
They also had nothing else available, so basically it was sorry, but your out.
That, in and of itself, wasn't a big deal because we made a fun weekend out of it and went up to Hershey, Pennsylvania. But there were lots of other reasons, one of which being the night of the big fire, when the guards told us (at 8:00pm) that we would probably be asked to leave, and our apartment looked like this...
that we should have stayed and they wouldn't be reimbursing us. Uuuuh-huh.
The cancellation of our week long reservation with no notice was just the straw that broke the camels back.
Anyways,
I haven't gotten around to posting Matt's 40th birthday pics. We got him an ice cream cake and Amy and the kids decorated it while we were out on our date.
Dang he's old! ;)
We had a family outing walking along the river one night. That bridge behind us connects St. Marys County - where our house is being built, to Calvert County - where our apartment was. So we had to drive over that super tall bridge a couple times a day! At first it really freaked me out, but I got used to it. That's a tall bridge!
An homage to Amy and her Ray nieces and nephew.
Sitting on the dock of the bay... with the Unibomber.
Amy left a few days after we got here, so after taking her to the airport we made a day of it in Washington DC.
Total tourists taking the subway pictures!
The Washington Memorial. Did you know you can go up there?! They give the tickets out early so there weren't any tickets available when we were there, but that's definitely on the to-do list.
Up close view.
Jefferson Memorial.
White House!
Jennifer Love Hewitt and Jamie Kennedy! I blogged about seeing them here
Jefferson Memorial up close. And since Matt didn't know, I thought I'd share some useless information I learned as a Kindergarten teacher. Did you know that you can actually see Lincoln sitting on his big chair, on a penny?
I know you just ran to get a penny and check. See, it's true!
You really did learn everything you needed to know in Kindergarten!
Or at least some kinda fun stuff.
They were having some sort of Lincoln dress-up day. Pretty cool.
Gettin' in on that action!
White House up close. -er. I also blogged about our close encounter with the Obamas that other day too. There were only a few things that kept us from saying hi to them. The huge lawn, fence, and guard there to name a few.
Another of them being the guards perched atop the White House roof. With machine guns.
Soooo, maybe next time.
We'll be seeing you again Obamas!
*But not in a creepy stalker-ish kind of way.*
