Sunday afternoon we will load up and head out on a grand adventure for our 10th anniversary...WE'RE GOING TO WASHINGTON, DC!!! Bobby's actually been twice before and has toured the White House and seen a few other historic things, but he's never done it with me. :O) I'm excited about going. Thanks to Senator Burr's helpful staff, we have a scheduled tour of the Capitol Building and as of Tuesday, have been worked into a group touring the White House. I am so excited!!! There's a whole list of things we hope to do, but the only thing requiring a reserved time slot/ticket that we don't have yet is for the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Once your representative's office has given out their share, everyone else must stand in line at the ticket counter (which opens 8am) for a ticket for that day only. I've seen in some tour books that tickets for the day are usually all given out by 10am. But we'll give it a try on Tuesday and Wednesday, and if it doesn't work, then it's just not meant to be. Now if I can just get all the clothes washed and ready!
Saturday we had a baby shower for Bobby's niece. As I was making the mints, Bobby asked what else was on the menu. After I recited off the litany of items, he responded with "No peanut butter?! This shower is for Hannah! What's she going to eat?" (Hannah has had stomach problems over the years and has been unable to tolerate many foods, but peanut butter has been her staple.) Despite my assurances that she would enjoy the foods we were having, he was adamant that I needed to make peanut butter & jelly sandwiches for the shower. Even though I protested that NOBODY took that to a shower, he persisted, and informed me I could make them dainty with my little cutter. And so I did. To my surprise all but 3 were eaten. Who'd a thunk it?
