A Thirteen Hour Tour

Friends from Minnesota came to visit! Yes, they're Vikings fans. I know, we still let them stay. Of course, we did provide some appropriate reading material. :-)

It was really great to see them. I've known them my whole life. One of the friends was my 4-year old Sunday School teacher. They arrived late Friday and left Sunday morning, so we only had Saturday to see everything you can see in DC! Here's what we were able to see: the Netherland Carillon, Iwo Jima, Pentagon, Arlington National Cemetery, Washington Monument, saw Bob Dole at the World War II Memorial, Korean Memorial, Lincoln Monument, found our friend's cousin's name at the Vietnam Memorial, White House, Old Post Office Pavilion tower, FBI building, Archives, Navy Memorial, my office!, found our friend's father's police partner's name at the Law Enforcement Memorial, Building Museum, St. Matthew's, Mayflower Hotel, Capitol, Supreme Court, Library of Congress, Union Station and FDR Memorial. All in about 13 hours! It was 93 degrees with 92 percent humidity. It was hot, but we all had fun.

We also finished re-doing our guest rooms. This is how they look. The yellow room needs a few wall decorations and maybe a chair or bench, but it's just about done.

The middle room with the new futon, needs to be painted a new color, curtains/valance, wall decorations. So, it's still a work in progress, but we've come a long way since we started!
