The last two days of our trip we spent in Washington DC. One of my good friends Aaron, lives about two miles north of the White House. Washington was lovely. Our first day there there was a pleasant icy breeze coming off the Potomac, bringing the temperature to a lovely 8 degrees. Aaron recently informed me that a mere 5 days after we left it was 73. Man, who wants that sort of weather? Give me the 8 degrees! It was a great trip until our last night when Aaron and his wife took us to a great Ethiopian restaurant. While driving around Washington at night to see everything lit up, we also made a few stops so I could check out some of the lovely trash cans in the city. I remained pukey basically until we got home the next day. Which, thanks to United, only took 14 hours as one of our flights was cancelled, the next flight delayed by 2 hours, causing us to miss connecting flights and basically leaving us in San Diego with no way home (United was generous enough to offer us a flight to LA, then back down to Orange County, which, with layovers would have only taken 5 more hours more...how nice). A friend really saved the day when she took 3 hours out of her Saturday afternoon to drive down and pick us up and take us home. We have sinced cancelled our United Mileage Credit card and will now only use them when all the other air lines have gone bankrupt and the greyhound goes out of business.
In all seriousness, it was a great trip that we won't forget. I have an AMAZING wife to do this for me.
The Gettysburg Address: Kelly thinks I am a nerd because I memorized it in 8th grade and still have half of it down. Come on, doesn't every cool 8th grader memorized 200 + year old speeches?
Ah yes, we all know this famous spot...its where Jenny jumped into the pool and yelled "FOREST!" Mr. Gump then yelled back "JENNY? JENNY!" Definitely a pivotal time in American History.
Little does some guy realize that his "hind quarters" will be forever captured in the Dickson photo album.
Holy Crap! Its 8 freaking degrees out! At this point, I was pretty sure my ears were gone, fortunately this picture serves as evidence that they were still there. Our faces were frozen in that position and we walked around the rest of the evening with those surprised looks on our faces.
Did you know that Washington is the place of the world's largest pencil?

Cold, cold, cold. Now you can move to Oregon. It would seem warm there.
