We had a great time in Washington D.C. There were so many fun, educational things to do for free! I will share our experiences next week in a post. We are already planning to go back when our youngest kids are a bit older. Luckily, my husband is likely to have a conference there again in the next few years. Now, if only one of his conferences would be in Boston. 🙂

Oh haven’t been to DC, sounds like a great place to visit. You’ve been busy with your staff writing, I need to catch up. How do you do it?
I squeeze it in whenever I can–during naps, in the evening, when my husband sends me off to write on the weekend and he watches the kids. 🙂
Congrats on all of the staff writing gigs. That’s awesome.
Thanks, Miss T. It is busy but fun!
