In Case you didn't know, I think Lincoln is creepy.
Apparently Kevin often gets mistaken for being a Baldwin. Who would have thought??

So...this weekend we went to DC. It took FOREVER to get there. Apparently the US open is going on right now and everyone and their mom was in NYC trying to drive over the bridge. It took us nearly 5 hours to get out of Manhattan. REDICULOUS! We were going kinda nuts in the car. But, Nancy had fun driving in the city. Haha. We left at 10am and didn't get to DC until 9:30. (It's only about give or take 350 miles between Norwich and DC). Anyway, we got there and Kevin showed us his homeless shelter. There were cats and mice everywhere. It was gross. Not really, he has 3 cute cats and they have toy mice and his place is really nice. We went out to dinner that night and then the next day we nearly died in the humidity. We went to a market and then to the capitol, air & space museum, natural history museum, some art museum and then took the metro back to his place before going out to dinner with Anne & Brittany and then to Adams Morgan to get drinks. The next day we walked around for a bit, got lunch and then Nancy and I went to see the Lincoln Memorial, Vietnam Memorial, WWII memorial, National Monument and then White House. Then we walked back to Kevin's he cooked us dinner and then some of his friends came over and we went to a club to go dancing. Although, I think we waited in line longer than the time dancing but it was fun. We got some food at like 2am (Kevin wanted to go to bed because he's old so he was whining) and then went headed back. Yesterday we left DC around 1pm and headed to Philadelphia. We walked around for a bit. Saw city hall and some cool sculptures and got some dinner. Traffic wasn't nearly as bad on the way home. Yay!

Today we are laying around and doing nothing. We got Grinders earlier and we're going to get some dinner with Carl and Elaine later. We might go to the pool...I don't know. Kinda nice not to do anything. Also, we got replacement tickets on british airlines and so we are staying a week longer but we still dont know if we are going to get a refund and we need to find flights back from NYC but we're happy with it for now.

For your viewing pleasure... This first is after 30 minutes in Traffic in NYC. We didn't know we would still be stuck 4 hours later. The second Video is me complaing about more heat in DC. Apparently I talk about how hot it is a lot.
