Everyone,
If you are interested in visiting the Washington D.C. area at this time of year, make sure your hotel does not have a shower. You will not need one! At this time of year, all you have to do is wait until the afternoon. Make sure it’s a good and humid day. The more humid the morning, the better chance that you will have a better chance of the conditions being right.
Soon the bright hazy sun will start to darken.
Then black clouds will appear.
A huge clap of thunder will announce that conditions are perfect! It’s time to step outside and get your daily shower!
Clothing is optional since you will be soaked to the skin in a matter of seconds. You will have plenty of time to soap up and rinse off as well, since these showers will last about 20 minutes.
Just another good tip about the DC area from one who knows.

Everyone,
What a day! First there was this:
And then there was this:
Next there was:
[a picture of the kids and Flower outside the National Aquarium Downtown]
And then there was:
[a totally awesome picture of a sea horse]
[a picture of the kids in front of the viewing area for the 'roars' aka the alligators]
And after there was:
[a picture of the Washington Monument with dark storm clouds]
And then there was:
[a picture of Butterfly standing in the rain deluge]
And once we got home, wet, (after a very awful metro ride with rude people who swore at me) there was no power in the house.
Until 4am.
And!! I’m an aunt again! Congrats to my brother and SIL on their new addition born today, a 9lb baby brother for Cappy. No internet name yet. 9 lbs!
What a day.

PS- I have no pictures because I ran out of the uploads for flickr this month and I’m too tired to invest time in turning pro. More pictures on July 1st when I can upload again.

Everyone,
We’ve been a lot of fun places this week, and gotten a few cute pictures of Butterfly. I thought you’d like to see them.
Butterfly on one of her Christmas presents, Christmas morning. She got a few more things (okay, lots of things) but this was an early favorite. I like it too. I used to have one when I was her age.
She loves to pull out Juice’s engineering text books and go through them when I change her diaper. I swear this girl is going to do something special with her life!
We went downtown to just hang out (our second trip this week…Juice has had the whole week off!) and we went to the World War 2 Memorial. It’s very nice, very peaceful. Butterfly loved running around and desperately wanted to swim in the pools. I like that right now, they have all the grassy areas fenced off. It basically makes a tunnel for Butterfly to walk down. She had a great time, and she didn’t run all over the place!

We’ve basically had a really great week and it’s going to be hard for Juice to go back to work on Tuesday.
