Our first postcard (which arrived 5/24/13) was from ....
President OBAMA!
Okay, okay... not really, but close.
Good ol' Washington DC. Mike's aunt Tricia (and Uncle Steve and cousin Chris) sent this from Washington DC. How fitting that our first postcard was from the closest "city". I had an empty frame near the maps that framed our "first" so beautifully. :) Thanks, Hollar-family crew! We'll be researching DC really soon! (The kids have a minor delay in their research due to the Memorial Day weekend crazies.... birthday parties and an amusement park trip are taking the front seat this weekend.)
Tricia's suggestion was to visit DC sometime after-hours and do a night-time tour of the monuments! I've lived in the DC area for over 17 years, and never once did it occur to me to do that. We may just have to put that on the to-do list.
Now... guess where the second postcard came from. It arrived this morning.
Hint: It would have been shocking had we not gotten one from there... I am always finding Facebook friends vacationing there... but we haven't been there in 10 years. Thankfully we have an awesome friend from college (and our current hometown) that travels often! And, fortunately, he's a good enough friend to not collect all of the "free handouts" that come along with visiting the main city to send to our children. LOL Despite the ads a few years back, "family friendly" this city is NOT. So, a simple G-rated postcard is just what we needed. :)
Check back tomorrow.
