This whole blogging thing is still new to me. I'm sure I'll get some tips and corrections from Alison after she reads it :), but here goes.
After arriving in DC on Friday most activities have revolved around preparing for and hiding from Hurricane Irene. In the end she wasn't all she was cracked up to be, but it makes for a cool story.
After moving in we went to the nearby grocery store to stock up on food and water and found a line to get IN the store. Fortunately the store is all
organic so I've now got a good stash of organic milk, cereal, and pasta.

Saturday was pretty rainy, but we decided to get and about. Trevor and I went to the Smithsonian- American History Museum in the morning. In the afternoon we went to check out Georgetown and found a cool little Spanish "Bodega" and had some tapas (jamon, chorizo, aceitunas, etc...). After getting soaked in the rain we came back to the Barlow Center for some hurricane safety instructions and spent the rest of the night hanging out inside. The wind blew and it rained a lot, but I think we missed the brunt of the hurricane.

Sunday has been super nice. Chuch was cancelled becuase of the hurrricane so we had Sacrament Meeting here at the BC and then spent a sunny afternoon on the mall. Today is the 48th anniversary Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech and this afternoon a guy gave the speech word for word in the same place and time that King did on the Lincoln Memorial. Way cool.
