So, it's been awhile since I've posted. Time seems to be flying by since I finished exams. I started my summer internship last week and so far it's been good. I'm going to get to work on a lot of different types of law, so hopefully I'll figure out what I like (or, at least, don't like).
Liz and Mike came to visit us this weekend and we had a great weekend. We did a lot, including visit Newport News to see all the wonder that had the fifth largest city in Virginia had to offer. Essentially, this was the shipyard in Newport News which held the new aircraft carrier.Mike and Liz are both engineers so they were excited to see this. Oh, and here is a fun fact that I did not know about Newport News -- When the US entered WWI, Newport News became a point of embarkation for the US Army, and as soldiers began to return in 1919, the city honored them by constructing the Victory Arch. Some 441,000 service men and women walked through the arch after World War I, and more than 487,000 at the end of World War II. Here are some pictures:
On Sunday, we went to D.C. Liz had never seen D.C. before and the American History Museum had just reopened, so we decided to take a road trip. The Smithsonian American History Museum holds the American flag (from the War of 1812 that Francis Scott Key saw before writing the Star Spangled Banner) which I remember from when I lived in D.C. during the summer of 2002. The cool thing about this flag is how big it is. It is really neat to see, but we couldn't take any pictures of it because the exhibit didnt allow it. Here are some other pictures we took around town (the Capitol, the Air and Space Museum, the Wright Bros. exhibit, JULIA CHILD'S kitchen!! -- she donated it to the Smithsonian in 2003 after she moved away from Cambridge, Mass):
On Monday, Mike, Liz and Charlie played golf and I stayed home because I wasn't in the mood to play but they returned and had a pretty good time.
That's it. I'll try to post more often!
Love~VA
