Washington, D.C.

Yesterday we made a trip to Washington, D.C.  That may sound like a fun adventure.  It was an adventure but the purpose was not for sight-seeing but to put into practice some of what we have learned at training.  I was in a group with two families (including 8 children).  The buses dropped us off at Union Station.  We then took the Metro to the Florida Street Market.  That was much easier said than done when you are going up and down escalators with four preschoolers and two strollers.  We did manage to engage in conversation with a few internationals and ate at a South African restaurant.  All in all it was a good day but we were quite exhausted by the time we returned to Richmond.
