This weekend was somewhat laid back. Saturday we made homemade pizza, which was a huge hit here. Then Caitlin, Laura, Kate and some of her friends and I went shopping. Then we went to a movie. It was a thoroughly relaxing day.
On Sunday I went into the city and Caitlin and I biked down to the Tidal Basin to see the cherry blossoms. There were people everywhere (and the festival has not even started yet)! We got some good pictures and then moved on to less exciting places. :) I then met up with Theresa, John Paul and Michael for Vespers at the Basilica. Theresa then gave me a tour of the Basilica and we went to dinner at the seminary. It was great to see and catch up with some great South Dakota people!
I've been really busy at work. Both the President's budget and the Republican response came out this week so I have spent some time reading up on these proposals. I have also been doing some research on health care and education.

Some pictures from the American History Museum. This is President Washington--or god-Washington--whichever you prefer.
We all got a feel for the presidential podium.
This colorful shirt belonged to one of the 20th century presidents. Can you guess who?
Cherry blossoms and the Thomas Jefferson Memorial.
