The Trip to D.C. - March 2007


I have to fast forward through the events of the last year so I will start with the most significant.

Mary and I drove to D.C. last March. It felt like we were caught in a whirlwind becasue she got word from the State Dept. that she was invited to an "A-100" class and it seems like a few weeks later she had an apartmemnt in D.C.

The drive up was actually fun. We pushed hard the first day and made it to Birmingham, Alabama where we stoped mainly because the radio said there were tornados touching down all over Alabama. We drove through some heavy rain and decided to call it a day. The next day we visited Sam Houston's birthplace (the picture above) and Great Smokey Mountains National Park. (below right) The next day we saw Shenandoah National Park and drove on the Skyline Parkway. (Below left) We arrived to D.C. about 5:00 pm an set about moving into our small apartment.
