DC w/ Mom

Hard to believe that my mom has already come and gone. She came to the show on Sunday and by pure coincidence won the Asia elephant painting. Sunday night we went out to eat with Kathy Crawford and I enjoyed a big bed, a bubble bath and TV at the wonderful hotel. I had to work for a few hours Monday morning but we spent the rest of the day wandering around Old Town Alexandria. I think that this is the most beautiful part of the country I have been so far. I love the houses, the buildings, the cobble stone sidewalks, everything. We had drinks with my friend Tricia and met up with my mom's work friends for dinner. Tuesday was explored DC. We went to the National Zoo where I finally got to see a panda bear for the first time ever. We went to the Jefferson memorial, FDR memorial, and the National Cathedral. We ordered food to go from the Cheesecake Factory and rented a movie at the hotel. The next morning was back to the circus. Ugh. She left yesterday evening and I have been doing my best to stay positive and remember all the good things I like about this place. We have a few more days here then off to WV.
