D.C.

We are back from our 8 days in D.C. We had a great time and already miss it, but we are also happy to be home.

The first few days we stayed in the city so Danny could go to work on the hill and stay busy with co-workers and such. Jack and I would walk to Starbucks every morning for breakfast and go for a walk around the hotel. During the day Jack and I walked to the National Mall and went to the Museums, ate lunch in the park and watched the people walk by. It was a couple of lonely days for Jack and I without Danny but we had some great adventures together.

In the City!

National Zoo!

When Danny was finished with work we got to start our vacation together. We traveled out of D.C. and moved to a new hotel in our favorite city - Alexandria. I was so happy to go back and see our old apartment and go to our favorite restaurants and to all our old hang out spots.

The Water Front in Old Town.

King Street in Old Town. We met some friends there that night for dinner and walk down the streets.

Our really good friend Stacy gave us a tour of the West Wing at the White House. One of our highlights of the trip.

Our last day we went to the Reading Festival on the Mall. It was packed full of people. We spent most of our time at the PBS Kids tent, where we got to see Elmo and this Character (above). Jack was really scared of him, but he loved Elmo.

Mr. McFeely. "Speedy Delivery"

D.C. was so great we did so many things that I just don't have time to blog about them all. We saw and spent time with our friends which we love and miss. We hope to see them soon.

The Get Up Kids

The Get Up Kids were in town this week and we made sure we were there. It was so much fun, they played a really great show. We have not been to a show in a long time. I asked Danny the another day what was the last concert we ventured out to. It took us awhile to figure it out but James Taylor last summer and Limbeck almost two years ago. Between the two of us we have been to a lot of shows and we have been to a lot of shows together. So going out to a show the other night was great. I almost felt 21 again. Even though 21 was not that long ago.

I am getting really excited for the next week. We are traveling east to where we used to call home. However I am getting some anxiety traveling with a baby for four hours on a plane. Does anyone have any tips on how Jack and I can get through this?

Also I would like to share that I am excited that the new seasons of The Office and It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia started this week! And 30 Rock will start in a couple weeks. My three favorite shows.

You know it's September...

when it's time to pick apples, the weather is getting cooler and the state fair is in town. Well that is exactly what we have been doing to welcome fall.

I love these pictures I took of Jack under my parents apple tree. He loves to play outside and eat the apples.

We made it to the state fair this year and it was a lot of fun.

Jack had his Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and Grandma there. He loved all the lights and Carnies. They were his favorite part or maybe mine.

Yes, we did go and see the Snake Girl and she was an Angel.

Wedding

Finally I am posting from our crazy busy week last week. I think I sat down at the computer several times to update my blog and never had a minute to finish. We had family in town which is always fun and we have been working really hard on our home so we can move in this week! Yay!

Sam and Heidi are married and here are some pictures. It was a beautiful wedding and we had a lovely time.
