Puppy class and the Spy Museum

Devin and I enjoyed another fabulous day of relaxing on Friday. We spent more time reading together snuggled up under a blanket and we also played a couple of games of Fluxx with Devin's parents. The best part of the day, though, was going to Nessi's puppy class for CCI. All of the puppies there had to complete an obstacle course complete with distractions like light up balls and food. They also worked on agility by running through a zigzag of chairs. They did a couple of relay races to see which team could complete all of their commands (sit, down, speak) the fastest. I got to help with the last relay which was for fun. Each team tried to put a t-shirt and socks on our puppy and get back to the finish line the fastest. It had everybody laughing out loud. I also enjoyed the puppies all playing together on their break and enjoying their frosty treats that they ate at the end of class.


Saturday we headed into Washington DC and we went to the International Spy Museum. I was pretending to be Greta Schmidt on a mission to get grant information from the Royal Astronomical Society (or something like that). The museum was really neat, but sadly I don't think I have what it takes to be a spy. For dinner we went to a Chinese restaurant close by for dinner with Devin's uncle Jim. Jim live on a farm in Maryland and is retired secret service. He brought his friend Mario who is in the Coast Guard and entertained us with stories of amazing rescues he has completed.

Tomorrow we have to head back to Florida. Both Devin and I would be happy to stay here relaxing, reading, playing games, but unfortunately work is calling. Luckily it is supposed to be in the high 70's so at least I will be happy about the warm weather.
