Despite some expected early rush hour traffic heading toward DC in the late afternoon, where there are now baby tiger cubs at the National Zoo, we made good time home. Adam's elementary school friend Emiliano, who moved to Venezuela when the boys were still young, is visiting for a few days, so Adam, Emiliano, and Daniel W went to the pool and went out to dinner together. I am working on many, many laundries and am only half unpacked, since I fear that everything smushed at the bottom of the bags, even unworn clothes, may need to be laundered as well after a few days accumulating sand and salt air. We've had football on this evening -- a Tebow-Vick match-up makes me want to root for a Cowboys invasion. More chores tomorrow!
