 |
| This aircraft really is amazing. On its last flight, from LA to Washington DC, it set a record by flying that distance in just a little over an hour. That’s almost 2200 mph. If it needed to evade a missile, it just accelerated. |

| A rare photograph that includes me. In front of a real space shuttle orbiter. |
 |
| The brothers being matchy. |

| Sara and Evan squinting into the sun so I could get a photo. |
 |
| I like this sculpture at the Udvar-Hazy Center. I think it is called Ascent. |
 |
| This is one of the Concorde aircraft. Eric was fortunate to be able to fly in one of these, a British Airways version, before they were retired. It was a fun experience for someone who used to help design aircraft. |
Sunday we had a lovely day of remembering Easter in all its religious and cultural splendor. The Easter Bunny switched things up and made an egg hunt for the kids to find some treats, and everyone good-naturedly participated in the fun. My kids are just heroic that way-always participating in traditions and family fun even when they are probably too old for it. I appreciate that about them.
 |
| There is an egg perched between the side mirror and the the car window. Evan can’t see it. Everyone else can but it is one of his so they can’t claim it. |
 |
| He still doesn’t see it. |
 |
| Finally, when everyone came and stood right by it, he figured it out. |
Church was wonderful, full of reminders of why I do what I do every day. Eric spoke in Sacrament mtg. and I gave a lesson to all the teenaged girls. I think it went well. I made these brownies as a sort of object lesson about appreciating your own unique talents and they really are amazing-a delicious, fudgy, dark chocolate treat-those usually make the best object lessons. You should totally try them.
