[Ender's Mom]

I got back late last night. It was a really great trip. I was worried that I'd be so sad the whole time I wouldn't really enjoy myself but that wasn't really an issue, thankfully. On Saturday, Eric Ender and I took an 8 mile walk from Eric's apartment down to the capital, monuments, war memorial, white house... etc. Here are the photos!

Ender and I at Eric's front door:

On the median with the capital in the background:

At the pool near the capital: "Mom... why can't I jump in and chase the seagulls?"

Eric: "pick him up like I do" Ender: "dad!... ... fine I won't look at you then"

(Pictures of Eric in post 11 in this thread)

At the White House
"Mom... I've walked like 6 miles already... when are we going home?"

Finally home!!!... Let's cuddle!

On my birthday, I also got to have lunch with Riz Khan (Eric's boss at Al Jazeera English)

NICE PICS!!!!!!!!!!! The one in front of the Whitehouse gave me chills for some reason. Really cool.

You are very photogenic, by the way!!! How come there are no pics of Eric? Did you stay at his place?
