First Landing State Park

Millie needed a really good walk by Friday, so I headed out to First Landing State Park.  It's off of Shore Drive, and I think it used to be called Seashore State Park at one point.  I think I went once when I was a kid, but haven't been back since.  I wasn't expecting much but a plain boring trail, but I was pleasantly surprised at how scenic some of the trails actually were.  There are also beach areas along some trails and Millie enjoyed a dip in the water.  I'll definitely plan on going back when I visit my brother again.

Christmas 2013

Christmas turned out much better than Thanksgiving.  I didn't get sick and was in better spirits overall. We celebrated this holiday at Jason's.  I got in kinda late on Christmas Eve so getting up at 6 for present unwrapping was a bit tough, but it was fun watching the kids tear it up.  It is a bit sad though that I put in weeks of shopping effort to find them presents and the whole thing was pretty much over in 30 minutes.

It was a gorgeous day out so I took Millie out for a walk around Mt. Trashmore in the morning.  Kim, Mike, and Ariana showed up in the afternoon for the dinner.  We all had a good time, but I think this whole weekend was torture for Millie though.  She had to watch everyone eat all weekend long.

White House Christmas Decorations 2013

Today I got to visit the White House to see the Christmas decorations, a perk I got through my job. It's a self-guided tour starting at the East Entrance for visitors, and ending at the North Entrance on Pennsylvania Avenue. I don't think describe it will do any justice so you should just look at the pictures.
