A 40th High School Reunion in St. Louis Missouri

Family Gathered in Washington, D.C., August 12-16, 2010

Three JAZBAND families and The Girls were all in Washington, D.C. in August. They all knew that Grandma and Grandpa would show up and not miss it. Zack and Ana flew in from a summer internship in LA so they could drive their car (leant to CZ during her DC summer internship) back to Boston. The Earnests were bringing the kids to see Washington, D.C. from their new home in Chapel Hill, N.C. The four hour drive makes it much better than Korea.

Here is a sample of some of the activities.

Here is Grandpa Z getting acquainted with our newest granddaughter, sweet and beautiful Mi Na.
Steve and Ie li had barely moved into their new home in Asburn before she was born. We enjoyed their hospitality.

Thanks for letting us land in your new home. You put us all at ease.

For fun we went downtown to visit the Smithsonian, especially the Natural History Museum. We were all there - Grandma and Grandpa, the Z Zacks, the S Zacks, the Earnests, and The Girls. (We were missing the Wileys.)

We got the answer to the age-old question: Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

We saw a Rare Encounter of two of the most famous diamonds - the Hope Diamond and the Wittelsbach-Graff Diamond brought together to be exhibited in one place. Smile Christine. Thanks.

After learning lots about natural science and history, Jack enjoyed throwing a football with cousins on the grassy Smithsonian mall.

Some of us had lunch at We the Pizza. Next visit I hope we can take a tour of the Congressional Library.

The next day we went to the Air & Space Museum Udvar-Hazy Center near Dulles Airport. It is a hanger full of famous planes. It was also fun to be in a model control tower and watch planes landing and taking-off at Dulles Airport.
