Adventures before the work begins

Before Nate had to go back to school (but still while he was working for a Professor here), we took opportunities to go to see the other portion of the Air and Space Museum close to the Dulles Airport. Mason loved the rockets and airplanes, and hasn't really stopped talking about them since. We also enjoyed seeing the Great Falls with our friend Kerry Harding, going to eat at Cafe Rio (yes I still love that food), and seeing the beautiful lights at the DC Temple and Visitor Center. As for the rest, Nate made some mint ice cream (which I'm sure was delicious, but I couldn't eat because..you know), and I've loved watching Stanley and Mason play "duets", and Nate read to his boys with one on each knee. Those are sweet moments for me.
