Dominating DC

So far, DC has been fun. We got here in the early afternoon yesterday. The hotel is nice. Here are Jill and Tara checking out our view...We really lucked out because this is what we get to look at during our stay here...The Roof Rock Garden. Awesome. Good thing the room is nice. We met up with my friend from grad school, Greg and went to a great dinner. The service was awful but we had some fun! Greg is one of the funniest people I've ever met so we pretty much laughed the whole time. Here are Jill and Tara with him. I love it when my worlds collide.

Jill and I looking super cool. I'm wearing Jill's glasses. I'm not sure why. Did I mention there was alcohol involved in this dinner?

Today Tara had an all day meeting so Jill and I went into DC to check out the sights. Our first stop was the Holocaust Museum. I've been wanting to go here for awhile now.

It was incredibly moving and interesting. I'm so glad we went.

After that, we headed over to the National Aquarium. Here's Jill looking sly next to the sign. The aquarium was smaller than I thought but it was fun to see how all the creatures.

We are here at the right time because it's Cherry Blossom festival time. The weather was beautiful today and the trees were in full bloom. It's so nice to see spring finally.

And of course our final stop of the day was to the White House. This is the best picture I got of it.

Here we are in front of my future home. :)So that's what we've been doing since we got to DC. As Jill would say, we've been dominating. Tomorrow real conference stuff begins. But I'm sure there will be more fun to be had when I'm not being professional. :)

Hope you all had a nice weekend!
