washington

we're staying in washington with chris and tessa ambridge. yesterday it was cold and wet and snowing, but we had fun eating at a local market.

in the evening we visited a few of the sights... here's a photo fo the washington monument at night taken from the lincoln memorial.

but the best news was the birth of Zoe Eve Macrae ... our little niece!

(ps. the weather here today is 0 - 5 degrees C).
