At least I got to follow the work trip up with a little site seeing, and a lot of good times with Jen. She braved the flooded tunnels getting out of Norfolk and the hours of driving to DC to tour around with me in the pre-4th weekend tourist mess at the museums. We hit up the Air & Space Museum and my fav the Natural History Museum. We tried to walk to see the Lincoln Memorial and Vietnam Memorial but were caught in a vicious downpour and turned around. After staying with her very cool friend Karin, we headed back to Norfolk and Jen's sweet condo in downtown.

It's charades; guess what I am! YES- a giant phallic symbol!

There we caught a great free concert from Collective Soul (you've got to remember Collective Soul! "Don't scream about; Don't think aloud; Turn your head now baby Just spit me out" or "So I walk up on high And I step to the edge To see my world below. And I laugh at myself While the tears roll down. 'Cause it's the world I know. It's the world I know."). They were good, as was the bottle of wine :)
And we celebrated the 4th with a double fireworks show over the water; literally they had two fireworks sets going off about ...50yds? apart.

We make patriotism look GOOD!

Norfolk has lots of mermaids, and they are just as cute as Jen!
