I really feel so fortunate that we have such great people to share our lives with! We finally made it to DC yesterday after leaving West Bend the night before so we could get a good 4 hr head start. We spent the night in Ohio and continued onto the home stretch after a good night\u2019s rest. The most beautiful part of the drive was going through Pennsylvania\u2014I never realized how lush and green the rolling hills are there because I have never driven east of Wisconsin until now.<\/p>\n<p>It was great to see the guys working at the From the Farmer warehouse last night and being back in the city today. We got coffee with Jason\u2019s friend and business partner [with whom we\u2019re staying], Nick, at a caf\u00e9 called <a title=\"Chinatown Coffee Company\" href=\"http:\/\/www.chinatowncoffee.com\/index.php\/\" target=\"_blank\">Chinatown Coffee Company<\/a> this morning in, you guessed it, Chinatown.
