Detroit

The long weekend was wonderful. It is amazing at how quickly the stress of DC returns. It's before you even get off the plane, really.  Having a few minutes quietly hanging out with Joe playing with his play doh, making videos, seeing him squeal and crack himself up as he watches himself--that was the most relaxed and happiest I've felt in a long time. Drinking a beer with my family, shopping with mom, catching up with Paul & Megan in downtown Detroit, eating lasagna...that is happiness.  And I am so glad they will return to DC soon!!
