Matt had a layover in Washington D. C. Not enough time to leave the airport but he could see the Capital from the airport.
Next stop wasn't in Milkwakee, but the interview was for a county near there so Matt went to the Harley-Davidson museum.
More at the museum.
An ice sculpture at the museum.
A reindeer farm at a Christmas village.
The boys were anxiously awaiting the time to pick Matt up at the airport.
The offer letter from Eau Claire County, WI.
Matt had 5 interviews over the week he was gone-Eau Claire, High Point, Waukesha County, WI (near Milwakee), Lake County, IL (near Chicago) and Palm Beach, FL. He received job offers from all but Waukesha County (which he was overqualified for but chose to take the interview because he was in the area). We ultimately chose to accept the offer in Eau Claire. The whole job search and interview trip was kept a secret from most people, including the boys. We didn't want to tell them until we knew where and when we were moving. I was nervous to tell them about the move, but this picture was taken as I told them and you can see that they were all happy about the new life adventure.
