We got to spend so much time with Vance and Casey and their girls. And can I just say, their girls are adorable. Absolutely. We spent the first couple of days at their home, and then stayed the rest of the time in the District. Those first couple of days didn't consist of much, besides chillin'. We loved getting to spend that much time just hanging out.
We went into the city on Thursday. That night, Lish's alma mater, the Seminole Nation, had a reception that a lot of the alum attend. We got to see lots of old friends and catch up with them a little bit.
Friday we visited Vance at the office, since it was just a few blocks away from out hotel. Then we met up with one of Lish's old friends from his Master's program at BYU who lives in DC with her husband. That afternoon we did our bit of site-seeing. We've both been into DC multiple times, so we didn't feel a strong desire/need to site-see, but we did want to go to the new Martin Luther King Memorial.
Lish's presentation was on Friday night, but Yale and I didn't go. Lish said it went well though. Another one of the presenters in his group, a current grad student, even cited him in her research, which was pretty cool. After he presented and Yale got his nap, we went out to dinner with a few of those FSU friends. It was great to spend even more time catching up.
On Saturday we met back up with Vance and Casey and spent the day with them. Lish took the training wheels off of their oldest daughter's (Isabelle) bike and started teaching her to ride a bike. It was pretty awesome, and of course she did splendidly!
It was such a wonderful trip! We'll always look back on that with fond memories. We're so glad the Taylor's could meet Yale. And we look forward to our next trip out there. Or theirs out here. Whichever comes first.
