New refrigerator

The freezer portion of our refrigerator died two weeks ago. When I went to buy a new one, they said that NY was starting an appliance rebate program a week ago ($100 back in 4-6 weeks), so I waited to purchase the new one until the day the program started. It was delivered yesterday. Very nice timing for once. (Already decorated with our impressive magnet collection!)

Composer

Alana writing songs; one is titled "I Love Pets"

Wilmington

On the way back to NJ, we met Matt outside Wilmington for dinner. At Rascals Crab House and Bar B Q. They didn't have any crabs so we settled for their mediocre bar b q.

Lunch in Crystal City

Arlington

The cemetary was the main reason for the trip - Cal made a model of the Tomb of the Unknowns in school last year. The tour bus got us there just in time for the changing of the guard.


Outside Arlington House, the estate of Robert E Lee that was abandoned by the Lee family and taken over by the Union Army during the Civil War. After the war it was turned into the much needed National Cemetary.
