Virginia IS for Lovers

We got home last night from our trip to Virginia/D.C. We had an absolute blast and loved everything about the area! We got to spend time with Tonya's mom, Tanner, Liam, Ryan, and Rachel. We went to most of the usual tourist hot-spots and also spent a lot of time in Old Town Alexandria where we stayed. We rode the Metro into D.C. a couple times, which was an adventure, ate at an old tavern in Old Town where prominant fore-fathers ate, drank and slept (Washington and Jefferson primarily), and went on tours of the White House and Capitol Building. After celebrating both of our birthdays and our anniversary on this great trip, we definitely proved the adage that "Virginia is for Lovers".

So when do you guys start your internship out here? I ask "when" and not "if" because I've decided you're definately doing it.
