Pennsylvania and D.C.

Paul and I had a fantastic trip to Pennsylvania and Washington D.C. last week.

Paul took his last final on Wednesday night and we flew out the next morning. Nathan and the girls picked us up from the airport- then we drove back to Shippensburg to a patiently waiting Valerie and a very smiley Reuben!

We had a great weekend with them at Marian's 1 year anniversary of her bone marrow transplant. The cotton candy was a hit! Plus we got cool new Superstar tees.

The nights we spent watching the NBA playoffs- during the day we did some mountain biking (at least Paul and Nathan did), hiking, watching Audrey play some guitar and just hanging out.

We went to D.C. on Monday morning and enjoyed Monday and Tuesday looking at all the sites, and taking in our nations history. Then we flew back Wednesday.

Thanks Goates family for a great time! We love you guys.

Here are some pictures:

to finals, and beyond

Paul and I just finished our last class of the semester.

Holy cow!

Now we have finals... (and I have tons of grading to do).

But then...

OFF TO Pennsylvania and D.C.!

We are super excited.

For this:

(Marian's one year anniversary of her bone marrow transplant!)

and of course to meet Reuben:

and for me to meet Nathan and see Audrey and Valerie again.

PLUS we get to visit one of Paul's favorite places (and soon to be one of mine- I bet):

Washington D.C. :)

PS...

I finally settled on an internship for this summer:

I will be a writer in the External Relationship Department of the Marriott School of Business.

(yay!)
