David had a conference in Washington DC for the American Association of Cancer Research. He also received a research award (travel money) and was able to present a poster at the conference. So, he invited me. At first I was reluctant because it sounded like too much work to get babysitters for an extended weekend, but after talking to our friends the Runyans, we found out they were planning to attend a conference the next month, so we decided to swap! We had a really good time and because we were just there in August, we didn't feel the need to just sight see, so instead we enjoyed the city, some great cuisine, (thanks to a former DC friend's recommendations) a really nice hotel and just being together.
We were even able to meet up with Dave's dad who is currently serving as a mission president in Canada, but because most of the East Coast Mission Presidents were in DC for a conference as well, we were able to visit for a short time one evening, but it was fun to see him! So, thanks Craig for letting us stop by so late.
Because Jeana and Abby's cousin got a monkey while we were in DC over the summer, that was their one request from me. Anyhow, I got home in the afternoon and gave them their souvenirs and Jeana put hers right to work. The monkeys did homework while she did homework (if you look closely, you can see them all holding pencils).
