My friend Stephanie and I are both training for the Baltimore Marathon and were able to add some miles in with this incredible D.C. monument tour via stroller. I love this place!

National Zoo
We loved the National Zoo. Elsie slept through most of it. Liam said at the end of the day his favorite was the donkey from the kids barn (never mind the multimillion dollar panda research center.) Other family favs included the iguana (because of its close resemblance to Spike from Land Before Time) red panda, tiger, and the monkey.

Living, loving, and adjusting, in D.C.
In the past 2 weeks. . . . . .:
-We accepted an offer on our Michigan home and are waiting to close. Hooray!
-We packed everything we own, including our rabbit Gabe, into a small semi (driven with care by Brady) and trekked to Maryland.
Brady drove all night, biked, and then ran to class barely arriving 2 minutes early to his first day of school. He's already the "cool, new kid" and is taking everything in stride. He can take his comprehensive exams this spring allowing him to start working on his dissertation this summer.
- Brady sprained his shoulder AC joint playing rugby
- Took 2 field trips to1)- Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum and 2)Smithsonian National Zoo
-Went to our new church ward across the street from "Fro Cuts" and "Super Selecto"
-Scrubbed, cleaned and still cleaning our new, dirty- yet- cute, house. I planted my perennial divisions, spray painted the toilet seats, put out ant and mice traps, replaced cupboard knobs, ate ikea cinnamon rolls after a successful evening of budget shopping.
- Riverdale Park Farmers market
-Met some new friends at a play group and at the College Park airport story time - Committed myself to both a book club and an occasional 6 am group jog.
This will be an interesting and enjoyable 3 years for us. Lots of fascinating people, events, and places. If you need our new address, email us and let us know.
