Hi all,
We are back in Albuquerque for the past week from a two week stay in Virginia. I went out for two weeks work. We used some of my frequent flyer miles on southwest to bring Jana out the second week and then we flew home together. Work was work, I walked my legs off so if I look shorter you will understand why! Jana and I had a great time when I wasn't working.
I picked Jana up at the airport in Baltimore on Friday of my first week there. Saturday we got on the metro and rode into Washington DC and toured the space museum and the new American Indian museum. I had never been to the latter so a great new experience. The outside perimeter of the American Indian museum is this fountain and reflecting pools that run the entire length of the building. This gave Jana the courage to ride the metro when I was at work so she was able to see some of the other memorials that are located on the mall.
We were to early for the cherry blossoms. but the gardens are beautiful and a few of the trees starting to bloom. These pictures are of a garden in front of the castle at the Smithsonian. The pink trees are the magnolias. Very beautiful and very fragrant.
Probably the greatest news we have from out trip is that Southwest has started flying into Minneapolis through Chicago.
Speaking of Chicago, Denver just traded their quarterback to Chicago. I was not overly enthralled with Cutler but I wish him luck with his new team. It will be interesting to see what Denver does with a new coach and a new quarterback.
Dad, So great to hear that you had a good trip. Glad Mom had a chance to go out with you. And it is good news indeed that Southwest is flying into Minneapolis! More of a chance of you coming our way?
