Today we left for our big spring break trip to Washington DC and Northern Virginia!  We have been planning on this for some time and wanted to do something like this before Sarah leaves the house to go to college at the end next summer!  😐

We left at about noon and drove to a small town just south of Cleveland (Streetsboro) and stopped for the night.  We were trying to find a church building so Angela and the girls could go and watch the Young Women broadcast but the building we contacted wasn’t showing it, so they ended up watching it via video on the internet from our hotel room.

While the girls were watching the broadcast, Angela, the boys and I went to find food.  We got a couple of pizzas and returned to the hotel.  When we pulled into the parking lot, the girls came running up to us in a panic!  There was a fire alarm in the building and they ran out into the parking lot as fast as they could and left the room key behind.  The fire department came and determined everything was OK.  Turns out it was just someone who burned their food in the microwave!  🙂  What’s funny, is that instead of going to the front desk  (what Kirstyn suggested they do) to ask what happened and if they could go back in, they just hung out in the parking lot until we got there.  They had no coats and were cold.  Maybe next time they’ll listen to Kirstyn!  🙂

Tomorrow we’ll be going to church around here somewhere and then driving on to DC.  More to come!
