Tired and home

We successfully made it through our DC 2012 trip.  I came back with all bodies accounted for, and no one sent home early.  A good trip in my book.  I got to hear grandma tell a lot of stories I didn't know-for example, did you know that her father was once held up in a bank robbery and that her grandfather single-handedly brought the robber in (she has the gun to prove it).  We met up with the East Coasters for a tour of the Pentagon.  We saw all the sights you should see in DC and even got a little downtime.  Overall, it was a great tour!
