national cathedral

this weekend we went to the national cathedral in dowtown dc. 

 the cathedral was impressive & grand. the stained glass was unbelievable. it's rather new but has the classic, gothic feel of all the european cathedrals, centuries old.
austin doesn't know why i took this picture & was trying to be a good sport. el presidenté lincoln's statue  is behind him. so obviously this is the new background on my desktop. (if you were to add dick van dyke i think it'd be too much for me to handle)

we hiked all around the bishop's garden which was extensive & so green & beautiful but once again we felt like we were melting from the inside out, so we stayed in the shade & tried to get caught in the sprinklers path.
the rest of the weekend was spent doing yardwork & swimming. great laid back weekend being eaten alive by bugs. bytheby how do you get your toddler to stop ripping her bug bites to shreds? super nasty & super sad.

Dick VanDyke. You are such a wierdo.
Sorry about the bug bites. Have you tried Calamine lotion? Even a bit of Benadryl before bed, if it is allowed, might help.
Aveeno bath coming right up.
