Yesterday’s flight to DC was completely uneventful. I really like Virgin America as a carrier; it was my first time flying with them. Kevin got us at the airport and then we ate at Famous Dave’s (BBQ). The evening was spent watching “Kindergarten Cop.”

Today we got a late start because we were still on California time. The GPS also let us down. It could not find the train station. Once we got on the train, we made it over to the DC Zoo. It was larger than we thought, and because we had to be at the Pentagon by a certain time (about an hour before Kevin left work), we didn’t see the entire zoo. We’ll have to come back later. Courtney really liked it. We made it to the Pentagon and Kevin walked us all over. Included in the tour was a quick look at his office. Gee, and I thought Silicon Valley cubes were small. Kevin’s was maybe 4’x 6’. When the tour was over, we headed over to the Pentagon Mall for a “quick” visit. Three hours later, both Barbara and Courtney had new fashions. I had sore feet and a few less dollars. On the way home, the school called to offer me a long-term sub assignment. This was not the temp position I was looking for, but it does get me sort of into the school. In November, they have to give me temp status (with higher pay) if they want to keep me through Christmas. I’m hoping that the teacher doesn’t come back, ever, which is always a possibility when teachers have babies. Let’s hope for the best! Kevin cooked a wonderful meal when we got home! The evening was spent reading. Tomorrow, we would drive (in the rain) to my parent’s house in New York.
