dc trip

dear fam,
the computer is being very slow about things this morning (monday), so i will write but not put up any pics which i don't have any way. i can only manage so many things and a camera is not one of them. josh and i travel light, but everyone else has taken plenty of pictures. when i made this decision i forgot that it would then mean i would end up being in the photos with no excuse not to be. so i am being reminded frequently in the photos these guys take of how far my belly protudes out in front. i'm embarassed and making a vow to do something about it.
but, that is probably not what you want to hear about any more than you want to hear about our snoring and believe me there is more than my own snoring to be heard. i came in to shelley and sara's room this morning and josh was sawing logs at nine o clock and he had ear plugs in, josh had ear plugs in so what does that tell you?
i have loved all the things we've seen and done; the whole trip has been wonderful as you can tell by the other blogs. today we're going to the smithsonian which much to dennis' distress we have left to last. he has been wanting to show us the dinosaur and the great big elephant and the whale since we got here. if we were to go home without doing this i would literally (and you know dennis so you know this is true) never hear the end of it.
oh and here's a little report on my health status. i am proud to report that old and flabby as i am, i have not had any foot problems or a sunburn. yay for me. love you all, liz
