Birthdays, Barack, and Bamboo!

Seth and I just recently returned from a long weekend of fun! We began the weekend with Philip's surprise 40th birthday party in Hermitage. Then, we traveled to Indiana, PA for a pit-stop and spent some time with the Rice's. We hit the road early on Sunday and spent some time sightseeing in D.C. and I did some touristy things while Seth attended his energy conference. The pictures below help to illustrate the weekend, including the party, sightseeing and the National Zoo. Seth was very upset that he did not have a chance to see the pandas!
