More about the Washington DC visit: It was pure joy visiting with everyone. All the kids are so cute and funny and full of energy.
We all visited the Kennedy Center the last evening we were there. By this time, Grandpa Larry Wilson had arrived to be with us too. The kids had unlimited places to run and explore.
We flew over the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico on our return flight from Orlando to Austin. They took the airplane up to 40,000 feet on that leg of the journey. Not usually flying at that altitude. You could still see that muddy grayish brown mess for many miles. We had two women for pilot and co-pilot for that part of the trip. I don't know if I've ever had women pilots before this; but it's worth mentioning that the landing was so smooth that everyone clapped. Vive les femmes!
