That's right folks...today's my birthday!  Can you believe it, 26!  I don't feel any older, but I am.  I've got a few presents from Joni waiting for me to tear into, but she was up in the bathroom so I'll wait.  Perhaps the best present I could get was her rubbing my back to wake me up this morning.  I'm such a ham for back-rubs!  To continue the excitement I get to pick where we go out for dinner tonight..AND...if I can get the work I had scheduled for Saturday done earlier in the week, we are going to DC for a weekend trip with friends from church.  We got a great deal on a 4 star, 2 bedroom suite inside the beltway and right on the metro, or within a mile of it.  You might be saying to yourself..."self, didn't they just go to DC a few months ago?", yes we did.  In DC, there's so many things to do we don't even have to worry about overlapping them.  We have a hole new set of destinations picked out that naturally include a Smithsonian and a few landmarks, but also some different places.  I won't divulge them all now, you'll just have to keep reading and looking for all the great pictures we take!
