 Aneika and I took Kyric to Austin for his participation in the week long [McCombs Future Executive Academy](https://www.mccombs.utexas.edu/undergraduate/bba/academics/summer-high-school-programs/) which is a summer program for high school students who are considering going to UT. Koveil took part in the same program last year, and he had a great experience. Students stay in a dorm for the week long program and get an exposure to the concepts they would learn as business students at McCombs.

 We returned home to repack and then fly with our kids to Washington, DC where Aneika had another conference. We had all been to DC before, but we did a few things we had not done before like take the official tour of the State Capitol. We took the [Acela](https://www.amtrak.com/acela-train) 2158 train from Union Station in DC to Moynihan Train Hall at Penn Station. We decided to take the train instead of fly because our kids had never before experienced a train ride. We saw the usual sights in New York City and also saw [MJ the Musical](https://newyork.mjthemusical.com/) which was absolutely fantastic. My sister came up from Philadelphia to spend time with us. We also got tickets to be in the audience for a taping of [The View](https://1iota.com/show/385/the-view).
