LOL TODAY WAS GREAT! We loaded the
bus at Collegiate and we were off to DC. Marky Mark braved driving the van and
Mrs.Albright drove the minivan with her seat heaters on the whole way(slight exaggeration – just took a while to
figure out why the seat was so hot) We finally made it to DC, drove around for a
while and enjoyed the beautiful scenery (nice way of saying we took a few wrong turns . . . ) , then finally parked and made our way
to the zoo. We frolicked at the zoo for a while, enjoying the wonderful
smelling animals and more often than not the serene, beautiful, pristine, and
empty cages. After the zoo we enjoyed a
delicious dinner at California Tortilla where CJ broke out in tears over some
really great hot sauce. (#10 out of 10 on the hotness scale) We departed the restaurant and arrived at the Church of
the Epiphany where we got the house tour and went through orientation. During
orientation it became clear we all signed up for the trip because it sounded
fun and we really wanted the hours. After we blew up our air mattresses and
Catherine was dragged around in a sleeping bag we decided it was time to hit
the streets. We found ourselves at McDonalds where we enjoyed a delicious snack
of ice cream and smoothies. Nicky especially enjoyed his medium pineapple
smoothie. We returned to the Church to witness Peyton jamming the goldfish box
back into the pantry. We played black jack late into the night and did some
serious gambling with our precious goldfish. Then we hit the hay in
anticipation of the exciting day ahead of us.

| All aboard! Look out DC - Here we come. |
 |
| Guess where we are? |
 |
| New section of the zoo is finally opened; wolf in the American Trail Habitat. |
 |
| Great place to play on a hot and humid afternoon. |
 |
| Got a close fly by from this Spoonbill! |
 |
| Good old-fashioned fun. Game night in the new digs. |
