Hi all!

Welcome to the first post on Merhaba!  which means hello! in Turkish.  As I speak, I'm sitting in the carriage house that mom and I are sharing in D.C. getting ready to go to the National Archives and then to parts unknown - probably Baltimore for all you The Wire fans out there.

During our stay in D.C., I think I'll probably be posting links to photos that we've taken, and maybe explain some things that we've seen.  After June 8th when I fly out, the posts will be a bit more meaty.

So here are photos from our drive to Columbus, Ohio to see friends over memorial day and our first full day in the district:
