Washington D.C.

Yesterday I went with Jesse on a field trip to Washington D.C. I was supposed to chaperone a group of boys, but Jesse was the only one who came, so I chaperoned him. It was actually nice to just be with him. We don't get to do that very often. His teachers are great and the trip was very fun. Interesting start though. We got a phone call at 6:00 am telling us that school for Sarah and fieldtrip would be delayed 2 hour due to fog. Crazy! A fog delay. That NEVER happened in Arizona. The kids here tell us it is pretty common. Anyway, soupy fog for a while.....then business as usual. The bus was a charter, so we had great reclining seats and a DVD screen. We went the the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum and the Natural History Museum. In case you don't know, those are the two museaum featured in the newest "Night at the Museum" movie. They were pretty cool. Jesse didn't care for the mummies or bones though. We spent our time with the stuffed animals and fish. We walked along the National Mall a little, but we weren't too eager to do major walking, so.....we got an ice cream cone at McDonald's and sat for a little while. Jesse is loving this school, I am sad we only had a month here. He never really felt like a part of Thatcher schools, too bad. Jeanie and Emily both have interviews at Hotel Rehoboth tomorrow. Cross your fingers.
