Sarawak Malaysia to New Orleans: Washington DC Trip

We went to Washington DC about two weeks ago. We went there to register Isaac at the Malaysia Embassy so he can become a Sarawakian in future. This is also a chance for us to take Boon Hong's mum for sightseeing while she is here in the states. So all five of us flew up to DC and spent four days at the nation's capital. It was a fun trip overall. The logistic of going through airport and clearing security checks etc were challenging. At the security check point, we lug around our carry-on lugages, diaper bag, one toddler, one baby, laptop, stroller and at the same time take off our shoes, fold up the stroller, shoved everything onto the conveyor belt towards the X-ray machine while the TSA agent yelled at the top of her lung "no liquid more than 4 oz!", "shoes off!'', "move faster!","have your boarding pass out!" . Instead of making flying safer, I think all the TSA agent contributed is more chaos at the airport and unneccessary delay at the security line.

Isaac knows how to smile now!

Annapolis, Maryland 30miles from DC (unlike Xiao Niu Niu, Isaac enjoyed being carried around in the suspended baby carrier)

Now that we live in a very "Ulu" place like New Orleans, we take every chance we have to eat good chinese (or Malaysian) food when we go to big city. This is taken at Penang restaurant in Dupont Circle, Washington DC. This place is pricey, $11 for chay kuay tiau. The clientele is mostly American and business is good. I think Malaysian food has gone mainstream in many cities.
