That’s right folks, hot off the presses. After a visit to DC on Wed to visit some schools we (and by that I mean I) have arrived at a decision. I am going to be transferring to American University, Washington College of Law in the Fall [yes, that is the school that did NOT let me in for last fall... NO, I AM NOT BITTER!!!]

Actually, I am really pleased with the way things are going and am really excited about my new school.

Neil is mostly happy because it means more nerd stuff to do like take pictures with C3PO… actually he is excited about school prospects for him in the DC area too (part of the reason for the switch).

As you can see, we also made time for the American History Museum… which to my great devastation got rid of the old-time American ice cream parlour… which WAS its greatest feature [as far as my 5th grade memory serves me].

Another downside of an otherwise pleasant journay was the TOWING INCIDENT

In which our car was towed onto the grass & we got a BIG, FAT TICKET.

Nothing like being forced to pose for a picture with your towed car as millions of annoyed commuters zoom by. Ah, they joy of being the wife of an amateur photographer.

LONG LIVE DC!!

We’ve arrived in NY! Below is the route we took. (If anyone every tries to convince you that driving across the country is “not that bad”… DO NOT LISTEN!) It was quite the haul.

We had two friends with us to help with the driving and to add to the good times. Aside from the absolutely no sleep, good times were had by all.

Neil’s favorite state, Wisconsin.

We rented bikes in Minnesota’s Lake Itasca where the headwaters of the Mississippi are.

Neil tried out the 3-wheeler.

Best part of the trip was visiting with Neil’s parents. Having great food & fun times. Neil even went on a shopping spree with his Pops. Nothing like shopping in Fargo!

We have decided to drive to Mexico City for spring break. Yep, that’s right. We may as well just drive to Florida. Actually, Neil and Jason are driving down & I’m flying to meet them a week later (since missing law school for a week would be like missing $17,000 of classes). If you’re no fool, you’ll find a cheap ticket & join us. It’s much cheaper to fly out of Tijuana, FYI (you only have to risk your life getting across the border & to the airport). Just buy a one-way ticket & you can score a ride with us in the lap-of-luxury skunk moblie on the way back. Worth it.
