Checking in...

Hi all... still alive. Not kicking, but alive. Still have my nasty cold and my allergies are horrible, but I still think it's gorgeous out here in Virginia. Went to Falling Water as planned on Friday, but skipped the other FLLW house we were planning to see that day. I was just so exhausted after Falling Water, and my dad and brother didn't care one way or the other. I took almost 200 pics at Falling Water, but probably only 2/3 or so of them are worth keeping. Incredible place. I highly recommend it, and especially recommend doing the in-depth tour as opposed to the regular tour. You see more, you get to take pictures, and they give you time to take pictures. I'll have to put mine up on one of my sites after I get home and get them sorted.

One classic view for now (I'll have to try and erase all the people on the one balcony/patio thing... of course there was no way to get a pic without them there):



Not much else to tell. We were planning to do a boat tour up the Potomac for my birthday on Thursday, but it looks like the weather will be better on Tuesday, so we'll probably do it then instead. Just from Alexandria to Georgetown and back. Should be fun.

Might skip touring the Capitol on Wednesday though. Just not that interested in it, and I'm getting kind of sick of sight seeing.

Coming home on Friday... will no doubt be jet-lagged. Had no trouble when we came out here, but I think going back is going to be a lot harder. Um, as far as jet lag anyway. Other than that, it'll be nice to be home. Love it here, love my brother and his family, but I also love my own bed and my own computer and my nice, quiet home.

Hope everyone else is doing well. I'm still not reading my friends page at all, so I would have no idea. Pathetic, I know. (That also means I won't see any birthday wishes that get posted in any of your LJs... not saying I expect anything, but if someone were to send me b-day wishes, I'd want to know so I could thank them. Does that make sense?)

Must get to bed soon. Plus my sis-in-law wants the computer. Heh. Later!

Lovely pic. Know what you mean about wanting your own bed even on the best of vacations.

Hey, what's the condition of Fallingwater? When I saw it back
in the late 1970's it looked like it was about to fall into the river!
I thought it was a shame that it wasn't being kept up.

Happy Birthday, hon!

We miss you, but we're glad you're having a good time. It sounds like you've seen so much, and I can't wait to see more of your pictures. This one was beautiful. Take care of yourself, and get some rest. Love, Sherrie

Jen-sorry to hear that the cold seems to be hanging on. Hope you get the rest you need once you are home. I'm very disappointed that we didn't get to meet but hoping to get to CA in June for David's birthday and will try to commandeer a car and make the drive to see you. If I forget your birthday let me make sure I wish you a wonderful one-you deserve it!! Where is this falling water again?? It really is beautiful

Wow, that looks so gorgeous. I have an intense fear of water (swimming and the like), and yet I'm obsessed with waterfalls, fountains and seashores. Very strange.

Anyway, since it is officially your birthday now here, happy birthday! I hopeit's fabulous. Have a safe trip home, doll. ♥
