  • Hi!  Sarah and Dustin (Sarah's boyfriend) came here on the 17th.  Dustin left on the next Sunday, but Sarah stayed until today.  While they were here, we went to D.C twice.  One of my favorite things that we went to was the Spy Museum.  It was really cool.  Sarah, Dustin, and I did this "Operation Spy" thing.  It was like us pretending to be spys and figuring things out in the scenario they gave us.  It was really fun and realistic.  We were given a scenario and then we ("we" meaning Sarah, Dustin, me, and two other people who were doing it) had to do all this "spy" stuff.  It was pretty cool.  The rest of the museum was very interesting, too.  After the Spy Museum, we went to the National Building Museum.  It was very beautiful when you first went in, but it didn't have much to it.  After the Spy Museum, it wasn't that great.  It had a pretty cool model of the World Trade Center, though.  Supposedly, it's the only existing model of it.  Unfortunately, I wasn't allowed to take a picture of it.100_0038 This is the Building Museum.  Below is the arch that Walter and I (with the help of Mama) built.

    The next night we went to the National Christmas tree and all the state trees, the National Nativity, and the US Navy Band Holiday concert.  It was really good!

    ...And a Happy New Year!!

    Today Amy, Sarah, Walter, and my dad left for NC to my dad's parent's house.  Amy is driving part of the way!  They will spend the night there and leave for SC (my mom's parent's house) tomorrow.  My mom and I will go straight to SC tomorrow with Biscuit.  We'll stay there about a week.

    I'll try to write soon!  ~Carrie
