April Showers... Bring Visitors!!!

Marcius and I have finished off April with a bang! We had friends and family with us every weekend!
The order:
1. My brother Sean.
2. Our friend Kellie.
3. The Delamere Clan (which included a trip from the Easter Bunny)
4. Our friend Elizabeth who made it all the way down from Edmonton.

Thanks to all of you for giving us a great excuse to hit the Smithsonian, eat out nice meals, head to the baseball game and shopping! Sean and Kellie got the worst of the April showers, the Delamere's got soaked and then sunburned and Elizabeth had practically perfect weather (hence the trip to the baseball game... and some frisbee in the park... and a hike in Virginia... and no need to go shopping to avoid the rain..smile...)

In other news... Marcius went to Marine day last week where he and 400 other Congressional Staffers whet to Quantico Naval Base for the day where they rode in tanks, helicopters, fired all possible firearms, watched live fire exercises, and checked out all the high tech plane in an air show - he came home ready to enlist and with shell casings to put on display (seriously? - this would destroy our peace keeping, gun control image). Not to worry about Marcius deploying - you have to be a citizen to serve - phew!

Happy Election Day Canada! (Yes - we did vote! - did you?)
