To DC & Back

Back is my preferred place to live. I spent a few months working in DC pre-WH, and I'd take my small town any day. That said, I do hope my husband and I can go back soon without the kids and enjoy the town at a faster pace.

Here are a few highlights from our long weekend- in no particular order since Blogger won't let me move anything around.

...cousin time (You can't help but notice the stunning first-baby stroller compared to the consignment shop double umbrella stroller. My poor kids never had a chance...)

Aunt Jax took our family picture (so nice to have that finished- thanks!)

Hot-dog-stand lunch downtown

Museum-going with preschoolers...at least they didn't understand that it was Celebrate Darwin month.
My sister found this at one of the exhibits:

Surprised they'd own up to the fact that they were just guessing about some of this stuff, she suggested they add (?) to all the captions.

Uncle Shep hosted 8 of us- I don't think he had any idea what he was in for...
Catching up with some of my adult siblings and friends

Fun to go away and even better to come home.

That looks so fun!
Great pictures.

Love the one of you and the kids in black and white-A's face & hands are too cute for words!

I'm trying to figure out if DC would be a good place to go for a weekend gettaway/anniversary trip. Haven't been there since high school. What do you think?
Glad you guys are back. Love the pics. Can't wait to hear more.

Looks like a fun time was had by all--did Shep survive? Glad yall got to team up with Lauren again.

for the record, your kids may have the older/yuckier looking stroller... but going off of that picture, it sure looks like they're happier with their stroller than the cousin is with his *grin*.
