dc days

so, we've been in dc for 2 nights now. compared to other days on our trip, this time has been lazy. when we got in thursday night, we ordered in, did a lot of laundry and sent jc to the treadmill. that boy has too much energy at night. later, drove around in dc and saw the "big sites" after dark. beautiful! our route took us thru old towne alexandria (staying in alex.). such a pretty place. jc and jody have decided they could live here.
yesterday we slept in; needed to recover from nyc and phila. we moved to the doubletree in arlington for my conference. our truly exciting afternoon consisted of kids eating the restaurant alone and swimming in 14th floor pool, me attending thrilling sessions and jody finding sams to rotate/balance tires (crappy nj interstate w/potholes!) and *suprise* van washing. the highlight was jody & I found a great pakastani restaurant for supper. we loved it!
today is again filled with exciting sessions for me. but, the kids & jody are spending the day at air & space museum. i'm not sure how they will make it without me. i have gotten texts already. they got "in trouble" for jay walking at the pentagon. then, jess had problems scanning her metro card and jc set off the alarm trying to help her. i hope i don't have to bail them out of jail.
