You wanna piece of me? and other tales

My brother sent the kids some Nacho Libre masks. Another thing our kids are OBSESSED with.



Clearly M takes his a little more seriously


Pretty Nacho-like to 'invent' the rest of his costume..red golushes, and a red t-shirt for a cape. So he's set for Halloween..almost, just need to get him some red 'stretchy pants' yust for fun.

Also....
This past week my aunt came out to visit from Utah.

We toured the Capital..in the rain


Arlington National Cemetary..in the rain



The Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

The Museum of Natural History..in the rain


Gettysburg..in the freezing cold rain

Where the first day battle took place..right behind us.


Another day of battle


Little Round Top



The Devils Den..can't you just almost see Union and Confederate troops in and out of those rocks?
Gettysburg is amazing! We are definitly going back to see more of it and to be able to walk around more. Before you go, may I suggest reading the book, 'The Killer Angels' by Micheal Shaara. Then watch the movie 'Gettysburg' you'll have a much better understanding of what took place.

Finally...
I've been doing some PR work for Worldwide Organization for Women (WOW). We had a huge 10 day conference that started in Utah and ended in D.C. This amazing woman, Asha, spoke and met with Government officials to tell her story. She's from Somalia and founded an organization to help Women and Children in her home country (at great risk to her personal safety). It was an honor to meet her and help her story get out!
