The capital steps

Sera arrived in DC for her first step of the east coast speaking tour for COHI. Our families, parts of them anyway, joined her for the awards ceremony and a few days of Pate-Rosenbloom-Bonds fun in this lovely capitol city. Here are some pics for your review. Next stop: NYC!

Sam and Stephen, two of three of our dads.

Sam, Sera, and Connie (Sera's Mom)

Sera and her her broken clock award. Don't worry, BUSPH is sending her a new one!


Again, the family minus Connie plus our Arkansas friends Andrew and Sherwood.

NPR, ah, Sera and Adam's holy shrine.

The Pates surprised the family with tickets to The Police that were playing just across the street from BUSPH awards dinner. We totally rocked out, it was soooooooooo cool!
