Time flies!
Ok, some of you may already be in the know, but the big news here is...Mac has taken a new job as an Army Liason in DC. He's been in the position since August, and we're officially moving into our new apartment on October 10th.
Our apartment is fabu! Located at 300 Massachusetts Ave. NW. When you walk outside the front of our building and look to the left you can see the big arch over the entrance to Chinatown and if you look the other way, you can almost see Union Station.
Here's the link to our building: http://www.masscourtdc.com/building/photogallery.php If you look at the 3rd pic on the top row, that's what our apartment looks like.
A few weeks ago we signed the lease, we parked a few blocks from our building...immediately saw this sign and it made us laugh.
We have lunch at a sidewalk cafe called Potenza on 15th, near the White House...Yummy!
View from our table, way out there is the Washington Monument
Mmmmm, good food!
I've got the capital in my hand! Power, ha!
We're about 3 blocks from where we took this...
Then we were off to the Postal Museum...right next door to Union Station
Inside the Post Office, beautiful
Postal Museum Love Exhibit...awwww
Gift Shop...Honest Abe Mac?
Then back to Newport News, drinks with the girls...Ashley, me, Kim (my replacement at NG), Carrie (hidden) and Jenni...oh I will miss them!
Coffee at Aroma's in Williamsburg
My Redskin, Mac...
Treats at Blue Talon
It's one of our fav places...
Then we finally toured the Governor's Palace at Colonial Williamsburg
Me waiting for my carriage...
Back to DC this past weekend...Mac's b-day was Sunday. When I got there Friday night Mac picked me up at the train station in Alexandria and we went to dinner at this great place. They serve chili on everything! Love it. I gave Mac part of his b-day present...a citrus zester!! wooo
And of course margaritas
Saturday we took the Metro over to the Chinatown station by our apartment to check out our new neighborhood. Right down the street we found this place. Awesome places to eat, and a super cool sports bar/bowling alley called Lucky Strike.
We stumbled onto an arts festival...food, art, dance and theater groups...very nice!
mmmm, tasty
We took a peek at the National Portrait Gallery...Mac addressing the masses from the second floor balcony.
The actual view...
Inside the gallery, looking through the doorway, across the hall is a pic of Michael J. Fox.

Me scared because Mac is driving crazy!
Sunday, Megan and I took Mac out to dinner at a nice place called The Palm.
Blow out the candles Mac!
My last day of work is Friday, October 2nd. Cell numbers will stay the same. When we get the address squared away I'll post it on here. Send us a postcard and we'll send you one back from DC.
Mac is in town tonight, but heading back to DC tomorrow night. I'm taking the train up to DC again this Friday to visit Mac over the weekend. More pictures to follow next weekend.
Hugs & Kisses to everyone!
