Our family is embarking on a new journey of living in Washington DC for the 2012-13 school year. Steve has been awarded a fellowship at the National Science Foundation and the whole family agreed to make it an adventure in the city. Let the memories be made....

Day 3: The homies trying to make it "Homey"
In an attempt to make Arlington a new "home" we decided to go out and try to make it feel like OURS...which meant we needed to get our regular food at a Trader Joes, get library cards and visit our neighborhood library, visit a bike shop (guess who's idea that was?) and then celebrate with swim lessons in our pool. All went well except for the metro security telling us our kids were out of control and he was afraid they would fall into the tracks! Oops...one major difference I am noticing here is that kids in the northwest seem to be used to a little (or a lot) more freedom to roam and be crazy. I feel like I've been an annoying mom constantly telling my kids to settle down...my poor wild PNW kids! In the end, Sawyer got his first library card and we got our beloved green juice at TJ's!
