Wenatchee Half Marathon - April 21st, 2012

Was looking forward to the Wenatchee Half Marathon and it was a beautiful day when that it arrived!

Karl and I getting pumped about starting out!

Pleasantly surprised with a time of 02:13:26 with mile splits of 10:11 for training for June's full marathon.

Killing Time Before Evening Flight Back To Seattle - April 02, 2012

Our flight back to Seattle was late in the evening, so we decided to explore. Brenda found a recommended restaurant called the Lincoln Cafe. It was just what we needed and the atmosphere reminded me of some of the places back in the small towns of Illinois.

Turned out to be right across the street from Fords Theater. The line was way too long to wait but maybe on the next visit?

Hey, we are at the White House, kinda!

Snapped some shots on the way back, then we decided to detour over to the Jefferson Memorial.

Street Shots Ended Up At The DC Neweum - April 1st 2012

An early morning walk that ended up at the Newseum. 

The September 11th exhibit at the Newseum that ended up being more emotional than I expected.

Quick Little Run In DC - April 1st, 2012

Morning Run To Arlington Cemetery - March 31, 2012

Starting out on our run, again we had no idea where we were going. Just following down the national mall in one direction and see what lay ahead.

Turns out, a couple miles down was Arlington Cemetery, so we got to check out the JFK grave site, tomb of the unknown soldier and all the beauty of this national treasure.
 

Great pictures on the way back!

Enjoying Georgetown DC - April 1, 2012

We started off with breakfast at Thunder Burgers and it was amazing. Here you can see a picture of my poached egg beef sliders.

Very odd picture in the men's room of the restaurant.

Very neat tour of one of the original Georgetown homes!

I'm always a sucker for a pooch wanting desperately to be petted!

Street photos!
