This past weekend I took Friday and Monday off so that we could get away!!! We went to Virginia to visit Janelle's cousin, Anna-Maria and her beautiful family. It was cheaper to fly to DC and rent a car than to fly directly to their closest airport, so we got to take in the sites of Washington D.C. on Monday afternoon. Too bad Thaddeus won't remember this year...

Cross-country trip to Vegas, Grand Canyon, Zion Natl. Park, Manhattan NY, Chicago, and now DC and Virginia.

This was not all for Janelle. We all split this feast from the Native American Museum's cafeteria. We selected the NW fare (Salmon, Bison, Wild rice salad, potatoes, and corn/pinto bean salad).
