too excited for words!

the weekend was quiet, as promised, although i did attend a ward activity (my first ever in this ward...at least this time around). it was actually quite fun..a 'screen on the green'. one of the ward members lives in a remote area with lots of property, and in the backyard, surrounded by trees, they set up a 'screen', and everyone brought blankets and chairs to watch 'the watcher in the woods'. i haven't seen it in ages, and remembered it being very scary, but aging has a way of minimizing those sorts of things. it was still an appropriate choice, and a fun one!

the exciting news however, is that jesse's coming! jesse's coming!! details are still to be finalized, but he will be coming to nc for work at the end of july and wants to come here to spend some time and see dc (his first time). i will probably ending up going down to hang out with julie and colby and then bring him back for a couple/few days. he took such good care of me and made for such a great tour guide when i visited him in santa barbara, that i am giddy about showing him 'my town'.

so, you locals (or past locals/visitors), what are your favorites? i'm already planning on the national art gallery, natural history museum, air & space, and the spy museum, as well as tubing in harper's ferry. we may also make a stop at king's dominion on the way back up from nc.

anne, offering up your infamous 'capitol tour'? :) everyone else, what would you consider dc must sees? i have my own of course, but i want to hear from you!
