It's almost Christmas! Brian is done with finals on Wednesday. I'm really excited to go see the Christmas boats once he's done. There are dozens of boats that are decorated with lights that tour around the lakes every night during the holiday season. We see one or two of them each night as they enter Lake Union and they're beautiful.

We're headed back to DC on Monday. We'll be in town on Monday afternoon until Wed afternoon.

Will anyone be around? Can we help you play hooky from work?
