Our trip from Ottawa, Canada to Washington D.C. took 12.5 hours. The last 10 minutes took 1.5 hours however as we shifted faith from the directions
to a female member of our entourage who insistently knew where she was going.
Mmm... I don't know what it was called, but I kept eating ...
and eating ... and eating...
Recently married.
Being the only driver for the 12+ hour straight drive, as soon
as I found my room I promptly crashed.
The next morning I was fully rejuvenated... here posing with the
family.
Mona!
First stop on our sightseeing tour: The Whitehouse.
Pre-dinner. :)
Delta before we told her she'd have to share the salad.
After pre-dinner, we were off to have Thanksgiving dinner with
the whole family.
This just screams Tim Burton. They lived out in the scenic
country--it was beautiful!
Mr. Ed.
Jonathon's dirt bike.
Brian and I were having a bodybuilding contest outside--what can
I say?!
There is nothing funnier that playing with the vibrate features
when a toddler is sleeping on the chair.
John was showing funny/scary videos on his computer.
The usual: fast asleep.
You couldn't pay Delara to keep her eyes open during pictures.
What a nice family!
[Next Morning]
That beautiful, flowing hair does not simply appear after a
shower.
ditto.
[Next Morning]
We woke up early to visit our family (My dad's sister on right)
who lived 25 minutes from where we stayed.
Uncle Don, who we insist was a professional boxer.
Our cousin Jason who's the man to know in the DC Club scene.
There is room for everyone in our family picture. :)
[Later that night our host family had invited over yet more family!]
Making Kebab.

I must say that this experience forever changed the way I looked at marriage. Previously I had
resolved myself to marry a woman of Persian background. The predominant reason for this was the idea of coming home from a hard day's work in my
basement to fresh, warm Kebab with steaming Persian rice and a roasted tomato on the side. Speaking with these cooks however, it became clear that
traditionally it's the man's job to BBQ the Kebab! Alas, all of my tightly-wound plans were starting to unravel and my dreams beginning to shatter.
The only solace that night was eating Kebab... a feat since I was not the least bit hungry but could in no wise turn my back on my true love, the
object of my ceaseless adoration. |

What women will do to fit into a shoe on size smaller than their
feet!
Notice to your left how the struggle continues.
William Hatcher does an excellent talk which effectively
proves the existence of God. All I need is this photograph.
Wow...Delta would make an excellent wife. Look at the care she
demonstrates here. E-mail her
if you are interested.
Everything looks normal with this picture, the symmetry, the
lighting, until you see our friend Shervin in the corner. Shervin is $$..
Brian applied the lip gloss from the tube.
Getting ready to leave is never easy...
and goodbyes are so painful. We'll miss you!!!!!!
