On Labor Day weekend Cory and I went to DC to visit my college friends Rebecca and Irene. While we were waiting for Irene to get to town from NYC, we wandered around the National Mall. The new Martin Luther King Jr. monument was unveiled just a few days before we got there, so we figured we should stop by.

Apparently there's some controversy about MLK's expression. Some people think it's too negative - not celebratory enough. I think he looks pretty good.

After a little more wandering we picked up Irene and Marty (her husband) from the bus station and went out to the Chesapeake Bay.

Once we got to Rebecca and Cullen's "Bay House" we spent our time hanging out, catching up, drinking beer, and generally having a good time. It's always good to see old friends!

Yeah, I don't understand all the fuss over MLK's expression either. People love to complain.
