Memorial Day In Our Nations Capital

So Larry and I were super excited for the 3 day weekend right, but the train and bus schedules were all nuts and not running due to the holidays so we had to use cabs and ask our land lords to take us to the metro a couple times so we could eat and get out but it was still a great weekend. We walked around tons and saw that every memorial had been decorated with red roses. Also apparently Arlington Cemetery puts a red rose on every grave stone in the entire cemetery...that is a lot of roses. Its touching and was fun to see a different way of celebrating the holiday.

We have also discovered Georgetown which is a little area suburb where the university is lots of cute classic row houses and lots of upscale shops. Its fun to walk around on the brick roads and see the scenery. I would die to live in one of those they are beautiful and so expensive :) We joke Larry should go to law school there it would probably never happen but a fun dream. Its fun to discovery little areas and to just walk everywhere. There is a bridge down the street from Larry's office that takes you over the potomac and into georgetown we literally walk into D.C. its the best walk over the river.

Its been interesting being here and really I am starting to like it. I have found a job that I am going to start next week working for a family in Crystal City which is in Arlington just a stop from the Pentagon. She is studying to take the bar exam and her husband is a lawyer, its fitting right? They are LDS and have three little boys I will be watching during the week its good money and hopefully will keep me busy and we will be able to pay all our bills because Larry is an intern and lets face it he doesn't make much! Its starting to feel like "home" kinda.
