Today I took the metro into D.C. from Virginia. I got off at the Smithsonian stop and walked over to the Holocaust Museum. I had a ticket for 1pm and spent a good 3.5 hours touring around. It was fascinating. Watching video clips and seeing pictures from Dachau reminded me of my trip there last year. I thought the museum was great – kind of crowded – but really great. I have wanted to go for a really long time, so check!

Tonight I FaceTimed with my little chickens. I cried when I saw their faces. I am missing these little pieces of peanut brittle so much lately:

I LOVE YOU,

D.C.

I am in D.C. for two nights. I touristed around a bit today: After seeing some monuments, I found out there are Cafe Rio’s in Virginia. HELLO! After I ordered my pork burrito and filled up my cup of rootbeer (obvs) I went to get a fork and instinctively took two out. I did that because I never eat at Cafe Rio without my sissy. Before I could help myself I started bawling. Right there. In front of the fork and knife dispenser. I don’t think I have ever missed someone more in my whole life than at that moment. (not counting all the times I have missed M&D).I LOVE YOU,
