Welcome to our "new blog." We have officially moved to Maryland and having more than one bathroom is truly as wonderful as we all imagined. We are also eager to get going on our list of "must sees" while we are living so close to our nations capital. Seth is working at the National Institute of Health (NIH) in Bethesda for 3-5 years so we have time to do it all. We love staying connected with family and friends through blogging so thanks for stopping by!

A 65 degree day in January!

We took the kids back to the Native American Smithsonian Museum because we only had time to use the restroom the last time we were there. The highlight of the museum was watching a father and son team carve and paint a real totem pole that was going on display the following week. I asked him what he does if he makes a mistake and his reply was,“I hide them, of course.” The kids also enjoyed playing in the “Kids Discovery Center” where they built an igloo.

The best part of the morning was walking around downtown in the warm weather where we shed our coats and jackets.  It felt like spring with all the millions of runners and the green grass.

We swung by the Botanical gardens on the way back to the car and were very impressed. The plants were beautiful and we even found a coco bean plant. It was hard not to just reach over and pick off a pod as a souvenir.
