I am back at my desk at work after a week of absence to go visit Catherine in Annapolis. It is good to be back in my home timezone and my own bed.

Friday: Spent pretty much all day on a plane. Got on the plane around noon (pst) got off the plane around 11pm (est).

Saturday: Helped Cat's Boyfriend's Grandma with some Christmas stuff and had lunch there.

Then we visited down town Annapolis. Cute little down town area. Visited some shops and an art gallery. Cat and Brian also scoped a couple places out for their wedding next fall.

Saturday evening we hit a mall so Chris and Cat's little brother Kevin could play video games at Dave and Buster's. They decided not to play video games after all so we ate and wondered the mall for a bit.

Then we picked up Brian and visited Cat's Aunt and Uncle for a while before heading home for the evening.

Sunday: Waste of day thanks to Chris. We visited a civil war museum that was pretty damn small. Then wasted the rest of the day looking for a wreath to take to his future Aunt and Uncle in-laws and talk with them for a couple hours, while they were awesome, very nice, and had great stories it was annoying and frustrating to waste a day like that. The upshot to the visit of the future in-laws of Chris was they showed us where a great little Irish pub was for dinner that evening.

Monday We went into DC. We went to the Smithsonian American/National History Museum and the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. Both pretty awesome. Then I took some photos of some of the monuments.

Tuesday Woke up around 3am (est) to catch our 6am flight. Got back to Sea-Tac around 11am (pst) then I vegged at the hotel while Chris worked.

Wednesday Chris worked for a few hours in the morning then we were on our way to his home (Vancouver, WA). Then I repacked and loaded my car and drove home to Eugene... The drive home seemed surprisingly short but I suppose so many hours in an uncomfortable plane seat will make comfortable seats and something to do (drive) make a trip seem faster.

Other: I don't think I will be traveling with Chris again every time I have traveled with him I have found my self very frustrated with him or the situations he creates. When it is time to go back to Annapolis for Cat's wedding I will likely fly with Kala or solo.
