As I mentioned last week, we took our little show of two on the road at the beginning of the month for a week of vacation.

After two busy and wonderful days in New York, we took the train to DC for two busy and wonderful days with my best friend, Kourtney.  I made a pilgrimage to the nation's capital last year, but Andy had never been before -- isn't that crazy?  We walked miles and miles, saw the monuments, a few of the Smithsonian's, indulged in dozens of $1 oysters, and ate the best pate of my life.  You did us right DC.
