2 Einsteins...with Einstein.

The highlight of the trip was the surprise visit of Bill Cosby!

The flight there was smooth as can be. The kids were great!

Joey slept....no surprise there!

The first stop was the Capitol and Library of Congress. We met teh Librarian of Congress.

The Washington Monument was always amazing to see from many different views.

The only First Lady Memorial....of course 3 more great women stand by it.

Joey .... doing what we did the whole trip...................WALK!

Iposed with some of the characters from Mount Vernon. It blew me away to walk through George Washington's house!

The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier was breath taking. Seeing our students place a wreath was awesome.

It was crazy to sit where amazing people have at in the ampitheater of the cemectery.

A politician appeared as well.......Paloski.

The White House!

World War II Memorial

Views from the Washington Monument.

The National Cathedral

The Smithsonian Institute Sculpture Garden!

Air Force Memorial

The Vietnam Wall.

The Pandas ate the whole time we were there!

The Air and Space Museum was very cool!

Joey loved the air simulator!

On the ride home, before we took off, I was able to sit as the co-pilot and learn how the controls work.

Sister Mary Matthew

Everyone enjoyed a great dinner when we arrived on Tuesday.

If my students think I am strict...they should have had Sister!

We ordered Sister a Shamrock Bouquet. It was beautiful.

My Uncle Matt, Patrick, Michael and Dad were great.

The entire family that was present to celebrate Sister's life. She will be missed dearly.

Me and my great aunt Dorothy.

Sister Mary Matthew's principal was the priest at the mass. He spoke very highly of Sister and told stories her students told of her. I hope at my funeral my Principal can say such honorable things about me.

Michael and Uncle Matt spoke about their memories of Sister.

Father Camp checked out Sister Mary Matthew for the last time.

Washington DC

I will be posting the pictures from Washington DC soon. There are a lot of pictures to upload. The trip was great and all the kids behaved well. Joey and I had a great time getting to experience a lot of what there is to do at Washington DC.

One highlight that was unexpected was meeting Bill Cosby.

Happy Birthday Mel

Despite the negative things of the weekend, Melody had time to open a birthday present. Hope you like it Mel. Just what she needed. Another cross for her colection on the living room wall.

Rick looks at the Willow Tree and asks if it grows when you add water. Not that kind of WIllow Tree Rick...come on now. Melody liked her new Willow Tree.... Healing Grace.

The bag was hilarious as well.
