Our Last Weekend in DC
Aaron, Graeme and Peter Bell got a sightseeing bus tour around DC on Saturday morning. It was very busy in the city this weekend because the Cherry Blosom Festival has begun!!!
The Ennis family then went to PA for dinner with the Kearns family.
We've got to know the Wayne, Natasha and their family well over the past 3 months so it was nice to spend our final weekend at their house.
On Sunday we went the Malvern church again, it was sad to say goodbye to all the friends we've made!

How did it end?
Brutal as it was, Heidi employed the use of visual aids to send the message to Graeme!
Graeme thought a romantic horse ride in central park might woo the lovely Heidi!
The lads
Heidi took this one. Why can we only see Graeme's sleeve? Rumour has it that Graeme cannot appear in a photo without Heidi!

A week with Heidi Evans
Heidi, also from pwc Belfast flew into Dulles int airport on Saturday 11th March.
Leona and I met her at the airport since the boys were away skiing for the day.
Saturday evening Heidi was tired after all travelling so she just stayed in for an early night, after scaring her tourguide (ME) with the weeks to-do-list!!!
Sunday morning Graeme, Leona, Heidi, Aaron, Chloe and myself all went to Malvern Free P church. After lunch we drove into Phili and saw some sites, the liberty bell, liberty hall etc.
Monday, when all the workers were away Heidi and I got the metro into DC so we could start working on her to-do-list!!! We began into the mall, and saw all the war memorials and the Lincoln Memorial. We then saw the White house and White house visitors centre. Just before lunch, police cars closed of the street next to the white house and out came the president in his black car along with around 5 police cars, 5police bikes, an ambulance and some black jeeps.

Long awaited update
Well folks i'm finally getting around to updating our web page, sorry it's taken soo long I've been neglecting it a bit. Oops!!!
We've been doing lots of exciting things since the last update as you can see from the photos below.
Weekend with the Kearns family.
The last weekend in February we left Mclean early on Saturday morning and drove for 3hours to the Kearns' house near Phili. That day we went to Lancaster county to see an Amish house and then to Shady Maple - this was Aaron's favouriate part of our stay. Shady Maple is a huge carvery style resturant with a massive gift shop in the basement. No-one left there hungry!!
Rita's house in Pittsburg
On the first friday evening in March, Leona, Graeme, Aaron, myself and Chloe travelled to Rita O'Malley's house for the weekend. We didn't arrive until 1am and so were all very tired!!!
The next morning Rita took us out for breakfast - it was lovely!!there were omlettes, crepes, potatoes and of course a full Irish breakfast. We then headed for the country to spot some Amish people (and their buggies). That evening we ate in a nice resturant and went up the incline which gave us a great view of the city and of course the pwc building which just happens to be the tallest building in Pittsburg. We all went to church on Sunday morning which was very different to anything we'd been used to(not like the Free P's)!!! Sunday afternoon was spent with Rita's parents who cooked us a lovely dinner- it was great CRAIC!!!
Skiing at Liberty Mountain
Leona, Chloe and myself went into Georgetown fot lunch and a look around while the boys (Graeme, Lochi and Aaron) went skiing!!!They all really enjoyed the slopes - Lochi even snow boarded down the black run!! Saturaday was a very sunny and hot day so when the boys arrived back we could do nothing but laugh - Aaron with his burnt red face minus 2stripes where the sunglasses had been, Graeme with his white head from wearing a hat and Lochi the Aussie who should have had more sense in the sun!!!
