Whirlwind D.C. Extravaganza

Justin and I hopped in the car and headed to D.C. to attend the Middle East Institute Conference with some fellow Pattersonite classmates.  It was a whirlwind tour of visiting the Renwick art gallery, the State Dept., the classic D.C. monuments, attending the MEI conference, and hanging out with family (all accomplished in 3 days...and that includes driving time).  It was fun but now I feel tired and a bit behind on just about everything.  Though I did have a crazy time at the grocery store tonight.  I don't think I have ever bought that many groceries in one visit.  My goal is to not go back until Thanksgiving.  Alright....now it's time to start typing some papers.  But first, PICTURES.
