Run around the mall!

I keep pinching myself – are we really here? With Dave? And on a run??? Wow. What a day. Seeing all these sights is something else. The city truly can’t be taken in over a few days or even a week. Makes us want to live here so we have enough time to absorb the history surrounding each of the monuments and memorials. The jog was great – awesome path throughout the mall. Two complete laps behind Lincoln Memorial to behind Capitol is 10 miles. We got 8 miles in and felt great – wish we’d done 10 but Dave’s GPS watch batteries ran out so we didn’t realize we were a little shy – just figured we were running well 🙂 Oh well – there’s always next time!  The boys enjoyed seeing all the sights and people. We finished up with a carousel ride. Dave and I are pretty wiped from running – Capitol Hill twice did me in. Dave just did the hot tub and I think it’s my turn…enjoy the pictures in the album!

Oh – forgot to mention that Ben dumped Bear into the bath last night so Dave had to take him down to the dryer for a quick spin to dry him out. He said he loved riding down the elevator with a stuffed bear in tow! Poor Dave rescuing us. He’s had to smuggle a machete…then Turtle out of a bar in Scotland, now Bear? What next?
