How We "Roll"

Caleb with his DC guide book that Auntie mailed to him prior to the trip.
Caleb in the "power lounger."
Kevin was never far from his camel pak and the 3L of water inside of it.

He spent the night prior making a "perfect batch of water." He filled the pack with ice and water and then put it overnight in the fridge to chill. He was not very happy when Capital security made him dump his entire container of "perfect water" onto the lawn because it was not allowed into the building.

This left the rest of us standing around an atrium at the Museum of the American Indian waiting for Kevin while he searched for the best water fountain option to refill his pak. He did not accept Erica's suggestion of using the fountain on the first floor and instead opted for a water fountain on another floor! He would probably not have made this choice if he consulted with Lee prior to his water search because Lee, who is a water expert, informed him that the best water fountains are the ones which are used frequently and have less bacteria. Thus, the best option would have been the original fountain that Erica suggested at the entrance, not the less-used one on a random floor.

I cannot believe Capital Security let Kevin in the building with that backpack. Looking at that picture I think everyone would agree he looks like a terrorist with the detonator in his mouth!!!!

Got chance to look at the last couple of weeks of your blogs. First,Laura, hope you had a very Happy Birthday. Loved all the pictures. Looks like a good time had by everybody. It's amazing that Caleb knew what kind of turtle that was. The boys are so handsome. Lots of Love, Aunt Dolores
