DC pics

In June I went to DC for 9 days. It was fun. I gained a lot of information that I can implement to excel in my new job. And I learned that I never want to be away from my family for that long again. I'm sure if I had to be strong & suck it up & do it I could...but I don't want to! My 3 boys are so much fun! They're my best friends! And DC was really fun, it just could've been even better.

I stayed at Gaylord National Hotel on National Harbor (Potomac). So I had to trek into the city. I went by bus, taxi, and river boat. By boat was slower but much more fun. I'll post a few pics of National Harbor, my hotel, and from the river boat...Everyone knows what the DC landmarks look like already.

And I did go to THE coolest party ever at the Smithsonian Natural History Museum. It was at night after hours, everyone dressed up, with drinks, waiters, hour douvres, more drinks, more waiters, desserts, more drinks...everywhere. There was great live music, great lighting, and did I mention great food & drinks. And all the exhibits were open. So I sipped on my bloody mary as I viewed 40 million year old dinosaur bones with friends and snacked on fruit and cheesecake as I viewed the Hope diamond. I don't get to do stuff like that everyday here in Lubbock! But I didn't have my camera. Another nurse I met on the trip said she'd email me her pics from the party. Hopefully I'll get them soon.

May 2008

Since I was a slacker I will summarize May in pictures...Hopefully I will get a chance to post other months soon.
May 2008 was great! We celebrated Cinco de Mayo, went to a Rangers V Astros game, cruised Joe Pool Lake, went fishing, camped out, hung out with Uncle Darrell, went to the Fort Worth Zoo, had Ethan's preschool graduation, and enjoyed other warm weather stuff like washing our Jeep. So fun!
