Washington, D.C.

I don't know if you know the reason I got to visit Dave and Laura in DC. Well, back in April, I decided to clean our bedroom because it was really nasty and there were things in there from Christmas. So, as I finished unloading a Christmas gift bag, I found an envelope in the bottom containing $400 cash! It was a gift from Travis' grandparents for us to use on our trip to England in January. I don't know how I forgot about $400, but somehow I did! So Travis and I split it up and he put it towards his tattoo and I put it towards a flight to DC. I got to visit Dave and Laura who I had not seen in about a year. Their son Andrew was born last October, so it was nice to meet him. But we all know the real reason I went was to see their dog Addy. She is one of my favorite dogs. She even went to Michigan with us one Christmas. We had a great time cuddling and going on walks and runs. It was great to see Laura and do some fun things around DC.

The pictures are:

2. Kaarli and me at her "Did you miss us yet?" party. She has lived in DC for about 7 years and a couple months ago moved to Nairobi, but happened to be in DC again for a wedding the same time I was visiting Laura, so I got to see her too.
