Saturday Morning Breakfast Cat, and other DC oddities

Saturday Morning Breakfast Cat

We went to the old Post Office building last night before meeting Laura's Aunt Nancy and Uncle Doug for dinner. This is the view from the tower.


How convenient that we had a letter to send.

Two nights ago we took some pictures off of Key Bridge on the way back from Laura's work. We didn't have a tripod, and all of these are at least 2 second exposures (most were 10-15 second exposures), so we had to get in some weird positions in order to secure the camera against the metalwork of the bridge. This is Georgetown University.

This is the George Washington Memorial Parkway

Again

This is where I have most of my classes. Above the bird feeders. On the seventh floor.
Just some random monument to good ol' whatshisname

Georgetown Canal

I walked with Laura to work yesterday and then walked along the Georgetown Canal to school.

These pictures are probably more interesting to me than, you know, other people, but I'm posting them anyway.


This is just outside Laura's Anthropologie.

I was supposed to be finishing up a book for class, but instead I wandered around taking these pictures.
My teacher didn't notice, though.

Apparently this used to be a part of a much bigger canal. It was dug out in 1870.

Old brick houses line the canal.

three point buck

Laura has been taking a camera to work the last week just in case she sees something cool on the way there. Well today she was walking across the key bridge, and she saw a three-point buck swimming across the Potomac . . .



















But she forgot to bring the camera today.
Lame.

Baptism

our friend April Grace was baptized on sunday.
it was a really good day.
Landon (on the far right) met April a while ago and told her about our religion. We met April almost as soon as we moved here and have been helping the missionaries teach her about our church.
