Mr. and Mrs. Wood Go to Washington

It was our first time to be away from Barrett (mine anyway, and certainly the longest time Matt has been away from him as well), but we had a fantastic time. Thanks so much to the Brocks for their above and beyond hospitality. Jon, also, gave us a lot of his time, and hosted a hilarious hang out at his place Friday night.

Trip Highs:
  • Watching Matt spend several minutes trying to close a broken umbrella in the pouring rain so he could get into a cab. Trevor, the cab driver, and I all watched and laughed hysterically.
  • Lunch at Lauriol - great salsa and margaritas
  • Dinner at Bobby Vans - awesome food, great conversations
  • "Dreamlining"
  • Walking by the White House in the evening with the Brocks
  • Holocaust Museum

Trip Lows:

  • Seeing the bus that was supposed to take us to the airport leave the bus stop as we were running after it with our bags. (We ended up having to take a 30 minute cab ride to Dulles)
  • Terribly sore feet - I should have just accepted that I'm now an old lady and worn sneakers, but I did not do this. I was practically limping by the end of each day.

An otherwise wonderful trip. Some pictures...

The Smithsonian Natural History Museum. Big teeth.

Interesting fact...that Ford's Theatre balcony is not actually the original. (You may have heard that on a tour.)
Glad you had a good time! :) Looks like fun! And I'm sure Barrett was thrilled to see you when you got home.

You two look as if you had a great time. Can't wait to see more pictures. I think your glasses look great, Matt.

Angie, it just dawned on me that you cut you hair. I really like it. You and Matt look so cute together.
