So, in total my flights were delayed for my trip nearly eight hours. Thursday's flight out was straight up canceled because we had some AWFUL weather in Dallas. Like people without power, flooding, lighting, wind, tornadoes. Awesome. So, like every flight was canceled. I managed to get a miracle flight out Thursday night, but Baxter wasn't as lucky. She had nearly 24 hours before she'd get there. Sad. (Or as she put it, "Epic Fail.") On the way back it was about a 90 minute delay. Not killer, but after having an absurd delay Thursday, we held our breath and hoped for the best.

But no one cares about how much travel sucks. I know. I'm sorry. But seriously eight hours of delay (or 26 for Bax)? That just blows.

But we made it! And we saw everyone! Kerry and Ian from England, Dan and Katie from D.C., Drew from Delaware and Baxter from Oklahoma. We were a virtual melting pot. It was awesome. Hooray for reunions!

And we did a lot. The National Zoo, My Company's D.C. Office, Newseum, Ford's Theater, Orioles vs. Braves baseball game and the American History Museum. And a few pubs and some great restaurants. It was super busy and tons-o-fun!

I have pictures coming. I'm going through them because I'm sure you won't want to see 500 pictures from my extravaganza weekend. Maybe you do. I mean, I think they're pretty awesome. I'm going to put them in a blurb book. But I'm looking out for you.

So for now, while I get all those posted and pretty I'll leave you with, "Damn, what a weekend!" I need to travel more. Where can I go next?
