I would have posted the following yesterday, but blogger was being wiggy. Enjoy!

We're back at Panera for the WiFi. I'm going to have so many blog posts to read when I get back to school.

But about that...

There's a blizzard in Ohio apparently. And we're leaving tomorrow afternoon to go back to Steubenville. Looks like the chances are good that our train will be even more delayed than on the way here, but at least we're not driving. But regardless, we could use a few spare prayers that we can get safely from Pittsburgh to the school in 14" of snow. Don't worry, Mom, I'll say the driving prayer! :)

So, let's see...

This morning I get my first ever pedicure. It was good fun and very relaxing. Maybe my toes can keep me cheerful after we leave 60° Virginia.

Yesterday we went to see Mt. Vernon. It's a favorite spot of Mrs. Paul's, and for good reason. The mansion has been kept in good condition, including the ornate fixtures and furniture. (And some beautiful quilts.) We also saw the outbuildings and farm areas. Washington had designed a pretty neat 16-sided threshing barn of which a replica had been built. There's also a very neat museum area in the visitors' center thing. It was just me and Kenny and Mr. Paul, as Mary had to pick that day to feel bad enough to stay at home. We still had a great time, though.

We would have gone to DC if congress had been in session, (I'll be using that sentence in my French paper!) which they decided not to be yesterday, so I didn't get to see Colbert's portrait at the National Portrait Gallery either. Oh well. I don't think I could be nearly as bummed as my dad would be. :)

I think that's just about it. I'll post again Monday to let you know I got in OK. So thanks for the prayers, and I'll be talking to you soon.

God bless,
