Okay - so this is me sitting on a park bench along the mall in front of the capitol building - to the leftish of my head. The mall and everything was gorgeous, but after literally miles of museums I'm not sure if I could look another dead president's metal bust in the face without wanting to keel over. Sitting has to be one of the finer joys of touristing!

My chin and ex-missile carrying rockets. 

 

Lincoln and I trying to get the timer on the camera to function. 

Patriotic shot from the WWII Memorial. 

Me quite tired in Chinatown with my new Bulgarian friend, Lida. 

Me. Fence. White House. 

Washington Monument and some buildings with columns. 

Me being cold on the 12 floor of the post office. 

The capitol building from the tower of the old post office. 

Illinois from 30,000 feet on my flight to D.C. 

Kallie "working" at her new classic student job at the Memorial Union. She's a Info-Desk helper-outer, which means she gets paid to sit around and do her homework and look great in a classy maroon polo. 

My sunday school teacher Mary Louise! 

In the back of the school planning our next dance floor takeover. 

It's Katrew! Wow - look at that, they're connected at the hip. That's new... 

Brad said he didn't like dancing with me because I smile too much on the triple steps. We had fun anyway. 

Saturday night found us at a dodgy looking performance arts elementary school because of Dustin, but it turned into a "swingin'"night. get it? swingin? okay that one wasn't funny but we did get some Swing dancing lessons and had a riot dancing into other far more talented couples and eating someone's birthday cake. Of note in this photo is Kal wearing flat flats and me wearing heels, and the resulting height incongruency (it's a word).

See the grey spandex? That's my bum in the scrum courtesy of Kal. 

Nothing's broke!! 

Really, really excited to be in a scrum cap and giant diapers at the ASU vs. UCSB game saturday morning. 

ooooh aaaahhh - end of the day 

The end of day two of amazing skiing - after Thursday and Friday of showing up all the guys we definitely were feeling the burn. 

Day Two of skiing with Kelsey - the last two were from Friday too - this is her hot hockey stop. 

This doesn't look like that great of a picture, but in reality it's awesome because it was taken right after we conquered the Chutes - 55 degree vert for 1500 feet. That's right. We were pretty stoked. 

when grandma pants come back in style - we will be ready
