2015 Top 10 Wrap-Up, #2

#2-Washington DC!

Our annual vacation was to our nation's capital, what a great trip! It of course centered around going to a Nationals ball game (one more park down!), but we packed quite a bit of other stuff in. For one, several museums, where we saw everything from Julia Child's kitchen to the space shuttle Discovery!





On the way home we also visited Gettysburg and the Flight 93 Memorial. If you ever have the chance to visit Shanksville, I highly recommend it. There is nothing there. NOTHING. And when you view all of that vast, empty space and compare it to ground zero in New York City, you are simply overwhelmed by all that was saved by the bravery of those passengers. It's breathtaking.

2015 Top 10 Wrap-Up, #1

Clearly I don't post here terribly often, so for those of you far-flung relatives and friends who are kind enough to subscribe to this blog I thought I'd do a little end of the year wrap-up to catch you up on what happened this year. So, I bring you ten events from 2015, in roughly chronological order.

#1-Golf!

Last spring I decided this was the year I was going to learn to golf for real. So, I signed up for a series of five group lessons and joined a ladies league - I was off to a good start!

And then the rains came...

Due to cancellations and rescheduling, I was only able to attend three of the five lessons, but they were helpful nonetheless.

League was fun and very helpful, but again due to cancellations our weekly outings were frequently canceled. It's hard to make gains when you only practice one out of every three weeks or so!

I still managed to take 10 strokes off my game by the end of Labor Day, so it was worthwhile. Hopefully next summer will be a little friendlier!
