DC and back in a flash

Gotta get to bed - but wanted to note that we had an AWESOME time in DC this weekend - me, Michael (from New Zealand), and Nate (from UNL). Gotta see all the sites - and we didn't even realize going into this weekend that it would be Veterans Day today - so that made the sites even more powerful. In fact, when we were in Arlington Nat'l Cemetery, VP Dick Cheney was visiting the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and they did a 21-shot salute with canons. Big canons.

We also introduced Michael to his first 64 oz. slurpee from 7-eleven ... and with that his first major brain freeze. Soooooo funny - he's slurpin down on it talking about how awesome it is to see all this American stuff (like slurpees) and then silence... me and Nate look over and he's squinting in pain, hand on his forehead and me and Nate just start bustin' up laughing. Ahhhh - what's America without its 64-ounces of brainfreeze...
