The Grondel's: Life in Washington DC!

We've been here for about 3 months now and have had so many adventures. We finally have reached the point that we feel settled in. We went sight seeing a little when we first got here. I'm just now getting around to putting some pictures up. We walked thirteen miles this day in the horrid himidity. I wore flip flops thinking they would be comfy. Very very bad idea. :( There's so much history here and we are eating it all up! We live on Fort Belvoir (on the Potomic River) in a three bedroom/three bath town house which is located a couple miles down the road from George Washington's Plantation. Living on base has been wonderful, safe and convient. I dont know how we would survive financially elsewhere.The culture here is definitely different, takes some warming up to and lots of time! Our friends in our new ward have went above and beyond and are awesome. Let's just say we didn't have to plan any meals the first month and half that we were here. :) It was great for me but a lot of work for others, considering they had no clue how much my husband can eat. All in all things have come together for us. We are so grateful for this great opportunity and journey together.
