Washington DC
Lately
Laurīts
is talking about Obama kungs
māja
(translates Mr. Obama’s house, he hasn’t gotten the hang of the word President
just yet). Luckily, it isn’t because of the extended election coverage on TV,
nor is it due to any political discussion in our household.
On our
way home from Chicago we detoured to Washington DC, where two good friends got
hitched. We attended a very beautiful rehearsal dinner on Friday, complete with
half-naked, passed out kids in strollers.
Saturday,
while my husband was off with the groom doing
who-knows-what-it-is-they-do-before-the-ceremony, and Mikus was busy catching
up with his grandmother, Lauris and I joined a group headed for the capitol. The
White House, several monuments and reflecting pools later we were already on
our way back to start getting ready. I would love to return to DC to do a
proper tour of the area.
Then
of course, the atkāzas on Sunday. Because
it isn’t a Latvian wedding if it doesn’t go three days.
Mīļie Āri un Laura, novēlam lai
jūsu dzīvē līdz mūža rudenim nepietrūktu mīlestības, saticības, laimes.

I love that he knows the President by name. It sounds like you had a fun time. We watch the American news every morning (evening news for them) so we knew the monument was closed. That just means you'll have to go back next yer.
