Tuesday Nicole and Clayton both had lots of work to do.
On Wednesday, Clayton had a meeting with the JRCLS. The national conference will be in D.C. in 2013 and he will be working on the planning committee.
On Thursday, Clayton came home early and we decided to go for a walk down by the river. The leaves were super beautiful. unfortunately we forgot our camera so not pictures. While we were walking. Clayton spotted a huge bird in one of the trees. We watched it for a while trying to figure out what kind of bird it was. Suddenly the bird flew to a closer branch. It was a huge owl! It sat on the branch staring at us. It was super cool. It had gigantic eyes. We were so disappointed that we did not have our camera.
On Saturday, we went to the temple! The D.C. temple is HUGE! It is also really beautiful. The grounds are neat because it is surrounded by a forest.
After the temple, Nicole was craving Olive Garden. We found one on our GPS, but when we got there it was no longer in business. Nicole was so sad. We decided just to drive home. On our way home we spotted a little Italian restaurant and decided to go there. We walked in and there were only four tables and a bar. The room smelled really smokey. We were about to leave when a guy sitting at one of the tables said, "The restaurant is through those doors. We were really relieved. We sat down and the server was super friendly. The food was delicious. We had this really yummy calamari in a tangy lemon sauce. They also served yummy bread with an olive oil, basil, garlic and sun-roasted tomato dipping sauce. The sauces on the pasta were really good. The food was also pretty reasonably priced. When the waiter brought us the check, he also brought us some tiramisu, on the house. It was really yummy. We really liked the restaurant and will probably go back... someday.
This week we received a sweet letter from Brianne and Cailie. Thanks for your kind words.
