EXCITING WEEK!!!

Wow!!  What an exciting week of experiences.

20 Aug - Tour of the Library of Congress.  (Last Post)

Outside the US LIbrary of Congress - Jefferson Building

Sara also attend Jamie's church service with the teens.  The kids were younger than Sara and she said she enjoyed the church service with James and Kim better.

On Tuesday, the girls went to Leesburg to see some of our friends that just moved here from Germany.  While they were having lunch - EVERYTHING SHOOK for about 30 seconds. Yes, a 5.9 earthquake hit.  Everyone and everything is OK.  One glass broke at home but other than that, all is well.

On Wednesday - A group of students came to DC and we took Sara to her first baseball game.  The Washington Nationals played the Arizona Diamondbacks (a snake).  Sara met President George Washington, at her first hotdog.  Washington lost but Sara and the students had a great time.

First Hotdog - very good but caliente (spicy)

Thursday - the girls went bowling with some of Jamie's friends.  Jamie won the first game but Sara finished 2nd.  In the second game, Sara finished 2nd as well and Jamie - not so good :)  That evening, Jamie and Sara made Chocolate chip cookies and a few other types - VERY GOOD.

Friday - Sara and Jamie did 3 hours of volunteering at the Fair Oaks Hospital with Jamie's Girl Scout troop.  They were taken on a tour of the Emergency room afterwards.  They had fun.

Saturday - we stayed at home and rode out Hurricane Irene throughout Saturday night.  All we got was some high winds and rain.  Parts of Washington DC flooded a little and Maryland was hit really hard with flooding and power outages.  We lost power about 6 hours.  The girls slept until about 10am on Sunday so they never knew!!

Sunday - Sara and James went to a Professional Women's Basketball game.  Sara saw one of her favorite players - Diani Taurasi....  Phoenix won by 7 points.  Sara also had her first Chipotle Burrito bowl for lunch.
