The Huss Family

30 August 2007

DC. our travel journal.

we've been here for a few days now, enjoying the many museums and sites... our hotel is actually in downtown DC, which makes it easy to get around with the metro. today we're going to the body world exhibit in rosslyn va... the one from 'casino royale'... rachel is an anatomy expert, so it should be fun to follow her around the different exhibits and listen to her wax eloquent about the human body. at least there's one smart person in our little family.

last night we were able to have dinner with one of my mission friends, chris hare. it was nice to see him and his wife; catch up on old times.

today is our one week anniversary, which is nice, so i think we'll celebrate by eating sushi. rachel and i will look for any reason to celebrate.
for all you canasta junkies, which are basically just my parents, yesterday rachel nearly won in a single hand... i say nearly because when she went out i quit because i couldnt bare to watch her count all her points.

here's a movie quote for you.. see if you can catch the movie:
you work your side of the street, and ill work mine.

huss.

ps. i think you guys can comment now, i had it set on 'members only'... but now its 'anyone'... we'd love to hear from you. sort of.

blog from the road. part 1

well, we've never blogged before. after 4 days, we're still married.
we're on our way to washington dc for our well-deserved honeymoon.
we're not quite sure what kind of information to put here, or how formal or informal our blog will be, or even who will read it. hopefully as this blog matures, various pictures, poems, book/movie reviews, thoughts, discussions, concert reviews, travel logs, and other forms of intriguing and thought-provoking postings will be provided. just dont count on it.

books:
robinson crusoe, defoe. 10 pages into the book and already i can see ourselves stranded on an island, happy all the way.

music:
the bends, ok computer, radiohead.
saxophone colossus, sonny rollins.
be cool, baby, be cool.

travel log:
one day into honeymoon, staying 10 miles outside of charleston, wv. town name unknown. there were exactly 5 couples including us in the ponderosa tonight. creepy.

until our next posting, read, think, and be happy.

rachel and matt.
