Hi friends! Did you enjoy your weekend? Did the Easter bunny find your house?
We drove to visit family in Northern Virginia, and we spent a fun, full day in Washington DC. I am a dedicated Metro rider, but Hubby insisted we drive in and park the car so we could bring the girls' scooters. I (loudly) questioned his judgment as we circled for nearly 30 minutes looking for a parking spot, but a very chance moment landed us a spot and from then on, I had to admit he was right. Having those scooters kept us going far longer than the girls would have lasted without them.
We parked near Printing and Engraving, went around the Washington Monument, waved to the White House, meandered through the World War II Memorial, snacked along the Reflecting Pool, and finally rested at the Lincoln Memorial, where the girls used the huge steps as a fabulous climbing frame, scampering up and down like monkeys while their mama fretted they would fall and crack their bones on the marble (I was overruled). Whew! From there, we scooted over to Georgetown for lunch. On the way, Obama passed overhead in his helicopter (with escort-copter). Stephanie insisted that he saw and waved to her because he knows he is her favourite president. To my great surprise, we made it all the way back to the car again without catching a taxi. I get tired just thinking about all that time and distance on foot with two kids, but it was a great day!
We had hoped to see the Cherry Blossoms, but alas, they were almost completely gone. We missed them by one week. Fortunately, we found three trees still in bloom behind the Kennedy Center, so we did enjoy a small glimpse of what must have been a spectacular sight.
Did you get up to anything fun this weekend?
