reflecting on our trip

Now that we’ve been home 24 hours, Brad, Osten and I have had an opportunity to reflect on our DC adventure. 

Top Billing:

Osten/Jolly/King/Big O

Karen:

This trip…may be pinnacle of trips for me. I missed Anders and Katie—wish they could have joined us, but the magic of spending time with Ian and Shannon, splitting time between their place and an Air B&B just blocks from their house, food, basketball watching, Ian television appearance watching, bike/scooter riding, baseball games, Metro riding, monuments, history, flights, Shannon’s arrangements and itinerary… it was perfection.
