September 2009


This past weekend we got kind of bored and decided to do something fun. We had never been to the National Arboretum, so thought it would be interesting. I figured it would be good for a couple hours. Once we got there I was surprised by how cool it was. I was kind of worried that the kids would think it was just like a zoo, only a zoo where the animals didn’t move. And where they were actually plants. So not very cool. So the fish were a welcome diversion, but they loved the plants as well. We spent most of our time in the bonsai tree section, which really entertained the kids. But even beyond that, they liked the other sections as well. Overall it was a well spent afternoon and we definitely could have spend more than just a couple hours there. Lots of pictures after the break. (more…)

After the hard drive crash on the iMac, its been a while trying to get the computer back up and running. Of course I had backups, but it still takes a while to get things back to what they were. Anyway, I’ve got some pictures of when Nancy was out here posted. Hopefully some videos will follow on YouTube. This was the first time she was out here when the kids weren’t in school, so it was fun for everyone to be able to do things and not have to worry about school. (more…)
