Hey All,

So we eventually got out of Jersey on the afternoon of the 2nd and traveled to DC. We were welcomed into the city by Noah's uncle aunt and cousin and had a wonderful time exploring and relaxing. We were able to see two of metro-DC's excellent farmers markets, and enjoy delicious fresh fruit from them. On the afternoon of the third Noah and I were lucky enough to enjoy a private tour of The Brookside Gardens given by Kathy the Mana

ger of the greenhouses and Butterfly exhibit. On the 4th we toured the capital's Mall etc. Yesterday we left DC, making a side stop at Clint's BBQ in Sevierville, TN for some real southern fare. Noah was quite bewildered by the kindness of the

southern hospitality we were shown. We are now in Chattanooga preparing to drive to New Orleans area today.
