Yesterday afternoon I finished my allotted tasks early and the weather was predicted to be somewhat nice, so I decided to knock off early and spend some time at Arlington National Cemetary. I took the Metro over, spent three hours walking around and paying my respects (the placement of over 16,000 wreaths by volunteers was especially touching), and then headed back to D.C. proper. Given I was close, I decided to walk back via the Arlington Memorial Bridge and the western part of Potomac Park (i.e., Lincoln, Vietnam Veterans and WWIIMemorials). Even though my feet were killing me (6.2 miles in dress shoes!), yesterday was the most memorable day here in D.C.

Well, the first week is down on my two-week detail back to Washington office here in D.C. I spent the weekend attending a jazz show at Cafe Nema, looking around Springfield and attending a Christmas party out in Vienna on Saturday, and visiting the National Museum of the American Indian. So far, it has been the nicest and most interesting museum that I’ve visited while here. The IndiVISIBLE exhibit was truely touching and the Mitsitam Native Foods Cafe was delicious!

Today we got a bit of snow. I took the opportunity to talk a short walk and shoot some of the local wildlife and of course, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to shoot Zane and Besa playing the snow.

Katherine and I went to Lincoln to have Thanksgiving lunch with her parents. The historical Wortly Hotel was a great venue and the meal was wonderful. Katherine spent the following day helping out around the house and I spent it shooting dogs and wildlife. Happy
Thanksgiving everyone!
