Downing's Are Heading Across the Pond

Alli and I are packing our bags and heading to London to visit our friend James. We also have plans to rendezvous in Paris, and bask in Brussels. We will be packing a lot into our trip, including seeing London, the countryside, the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, the Louvre, and the UN in Brussels. Pictures will be posted. The only people who check our blog are the people we call and tell, but we were on here anyways. I also thought, maybe Barack Obama will see this and he might want me to increase our foreign relations, just like Thomas Jefferson did 250 years ago. Except I have a wife, so I can concentrate more on the business side than he did.
Also, We have decided we want a dog, but have to wait a long time so we have a house suitable for a dog, at least the decision is made, so I can dream.
