Mobilization to End Poverty Conference

Our adventure begins... Saturday we flew to Houston, TX then we headed towards Baltimore, MD. After an expensive $75 cab we got on the metro and headed to DC.

So what are we doing in DC? The Center for International Developed at Point Loma Nazarene University sponsered Taylor, Kaley and I to attend a conference on poverty alleviation. So the conference starts April 26th and ends April 29th.

Because we got to DC Saturday night we decided to explore the city Sunday morning. So what did we find...

A fountain where we could dip our toes. I have to say it was quite nice especially since it was 90ºF outside. Don't worry everyone does it here, even the ducks, they have their own special ramp (but strangely there were not ducks in sight).

We spotted the good old Capital building.

And ofcourse the Washington Monument. Pretty nice :)

We didn't get to see the cherry blossoms but some of the trees still looked pretty amazing if you ask me. I especially like all the lily's around the park, my fav.!

Taylor and Kaley enjoying the day in front of the Washington Monument. We also visited the Holocaust museum, the American museum, and the

Natural art museum.

I have to say that I am loving the food here in D.C. Today, Sunday, I had pizza from a café inside the Holocaust museum, Starbucks coffee to fill the soul, Peruvian rice & French fries. Good stuff :)
