And there have been trips, too, for Mali ...
Mali came to us already enjoying car rides, but Chi had always had issues with car sickness.  Mali keeping him company in the back seat - and perhaps her enthusiasm for the rides - has Chi enjoying long trips now, too.

September 21. 2013 - Mali went to the ocean as I went to an elementary school reunion in Delaware...


We have already made two trips to our cousins' new place in Stafford, Virginia...these are from November 23, 2013:








 Mali always comes when she is called...





 Under the fence to explore the lower field...

It was a beautiful day...

On November 3, 2013, we took one last look at the Washington Monument with all of its scaffolding to allow the earthquake damage repairs.

When the weather is bad, we go to the "circle park", a short distance from Rock Creek Park...I found it interesting how the roots of the tree keep the ground warmer, so the snow melts off faster...

We rounded out the year, at least Mali's first 9 months with us, with a couple of trips to see the Mormon Temple Festival of Lights - this is their 36th year, and they are now up to 600,000 lights.  Mali looked out the windows with a great deal of interest.



Now, on to the New Year - 2014!
