For those of you in the D.C. area, the Library of Congress' National Book Festival is next Saturday, September 26. It's free on the National Mall, and will have over 70 authors.
I'm not exactly DC area as DC is about 7-8 hours away! But, I think I will try and rent a hotel to be there, since books are so awesome and meeting authors is even more awesome. Thanks for posting this :-D

What I'm Reading Now . . .
Mister Pip by Lloyd Jones
"Charles Dickens is an unlikely beacon for the children of the tiny fishing village in which this short novel takes place. When all the schoolteachers flee for the safety of the mainland, the community's only white man, a linen-suited eccentric named Mr Watts, decides that exposure to Great Expectations will do the kids some good. He reassembles the class and introduces them to the faraway world of Pip, Magwitch and Miss Havisham, a chapter a day." - Killian Fox
People move far away from their hometowns every day . . . we know we aren't special! The blog started as a way to document our move from Virginia to Florida and has morphed into writing about our daily lives - especially since baby #1 is on its way! Thanks for reading!
