Well, we finally made it to Virginia. It was definitely touch and go there for a while, but we arrived. As I got off the plane with the kids and the assistant of two flight attendants and another guy pushing the car seats in a wheel chair (not sure where he came from) one of the attendants handed Will to Jon and said very boldly, "You owe your wife dinner!" As Dad keeps telling me, it's all journal material.

On Saturday there was an air show going on at Andrews AFB. Of course, as soon as Jon heard, we had to go. So thinking we could just drive up, fight a few cars worth of traffic, we headed out. Ha, we had to park at a metro stop a few miles away, go through a security line 10 x the size of the airport, get shuttled by bus to the base, all with two screaming kids and a extra large double stroller... and 400,000 people later (for real, that's what they said on the news), we were finally able to see some cool stuff. Well, actually Jon and Ethan did. I sat in the hangar with Will because the noise was so loud and he was pretty unhappy.





Dad, we live literally steps from a Pizzeria Uno. I was so excited to see it and kept telling Jon all about it. We went there for dinner last night, it was so good.





We tried to go to our ward today for church, but were unable to locate our correct ward. So we just picked one today. It's kind of far away, so I think we will pick a new one next week. Who knew it would be so hard to find? In fact, where we live, we are on the border of three stakes.

Well, we love and miss you all. I hope that we will get to see a few people this summer. I've already checked out Potomac Mills shopping, oh wow. This could be fun.

Thanks for everything!

I was ok until I saw Ethan's picture at the pizza place. His big smile and thomas and james and I can't remember the other one. We love you all so much and miss you. What a great experience you are going to have, however, we miss you.

I am so excited for you guys. That sounds like a blast. Maybe I should see if Owen's company would pay for us to go to DC for three months. I love Washington! I am so jealous. Meanwhile, I am nursing the bee sting of the century. Have fun--just leave your wallet at home.

Tell Jon to work really late hours. You'll find comfort and solace at the mall!!

Wow, Meg. It looks awesome. I think Christian and I will have to spend a month there at least. Or maybe just me and CJ. We could probably accomplish a lot at Potomac in that amount of time.
