Business Trip

A couple of weeks back Emily took Ilona on her business trip to Washington DC. There she was met by Nana (and Wayne for half the trip), who watched Ilona whilst Emily did business. I don't know exactly what they got up to, but there was a big wheel and some kind of Zoo, at National Harbour. I think Ilona had a great time



Meanwhile I stayed here with Bluet who still had to go to kindergarten. On the Wednesday there was a lantern fest - traditionally these are carved from turnips, but Bluet's class made them from tissue paper and cardboard. I went with her to KG in the evening after work; sadly it was raining or else they would've walked with their lanterns through the local streets, instead they were confined to a covered portion of the playground. Then the parents and kids sat down to eat soup and sausages. A good Swiss tradition.
