Camp David

Last week I got to go to Camp David with our presidential library directors, my boss, and a few others. Laura Bush gave us the tour herself. She was very friendly and gracious, and spent several hours with us, including lunch. It was the best field trip ever! Very few people get to go to Camp David - you have to be a guest of the President. I asked Mrs. Bush how often she gave tours like this, and she said this was the first. We also discussed Jenna's wedding. We got to drive golf carts (Mrs. Bush drove the lead one).

I took lots of photos, but they specifically asked us not to put them on the web since Camp David is supposed to be for the First Family's privacy and relaxation. The photo below is on the White House web site. Not my best look ever. I wore seersucker (it's CAMP after all), but everyone else wore black. Oh well. When I get the group picture I'll post it.

Eastern Shore

We spent a few days on the Eastern Shore of Maryland over Memorial Day weekend. It reminded me a lot of the North Fork. We had a great time - Lily deemed the indoor pool and the free breakfast buffet as her favorite parts (even though there was no waffle maker).



Look what Sno-Cones do to your tongue!


Feeding ducks.

Oxford, MD had an amazing playground on the beach.



Lily was enthralled by the Christmas store.


End of a long day.

Asia Kids

I sent a bunch of slides (700!) from our Asia trip (1990) to be scanned. I'm slowly making my way through them. Here are my favorite kid pictures. Most of these kids are in their 20s now, at least!
