The Road, November

We played at an Episcopal retreat this weekend in New Hampshire. This is one of the most "spiritually comfortable" camps for me. The programming is very simple, no big show. As part of the Sunday morning worship we partake in the Eucharist, something that we often miss while traveling. The liturgical style is reminescent of my upbringing. I am moved by the interactive service, it is powerful to speak in unison, raise our hands in blessing. I like being part of the service as opposed to being an audience observer.



Jeff and I enjoy the sunny day in NH


We usually don't have time to sight see on the road so it was nice to find a few hours to head to DC last week. I really wanted to go to the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History, made popular by the movie Night at the Museum!! Duh!

We saw many wonderful creatures, including this funny fellow. We think he might make a nice adopted Wellington.





Aaaahhh! Shark jaw! Grandma Smart would have liked this one;)


I really want to go back when we have more time, it was cool! I am of the opinion that DC = boring!!, but I must admit that the museum was fun. Maybe the thought of seeing something from the Night at the Museum movie kept me enthralled? Or maybe it was the fact that I am no longer a hormonal teenager more concerned with my hair, boys and um, boys like I was on the 8th grade DC trip?


Yes, We are both wearing the same outfit as the last post. Sue us! Photos were a month apart.
