Holidays

We spent the Holidays in Alexandria, VA with Andrew's fam.  We were able to go for a week which was wonderful.  It didn't snow but it was quite cold.  I actually thought the trees with no leaves and the wintery days were beautiful (probably because I don't have to see them everyday).  Andrew's mom cooked lots of good Brazilian food and we ate all the time!  

I finally got Andrew to take me into D.C.  to do some sightseeing.  Cristina and Travis went with us to help get us through the city.  It was crazy busy, as I imagine it usually is, so we didn't do a lot.  We went to the Lincoln Memorial, WWII Memorial and the Holocaust Museum.  I haven't been to D.C. since I was in fifth grade.  So it was cool to see it from an adult perspective actually knowing what some of these things represented.  The Holocaust Museum was different.  Its very quiet in there with four levels and hundreds of people.  If you read everything it would probably take you weeks.  Most things I walked through quickly because its hard to see and read.  I think the Museum did a good job accurately telling the story from beginning to end.
