Spring Break


Me and the kids sat outside for lunch today and I got a little sun on my arms and neck.....it felt so great and I can't wait until we can go to the pool everyday. I have a million things on my to do list this week but I thought I should hurry and get pictures of our trip up before it doesn't happen. We had such a great time with Nolan and Ashley(my brother and his wife) and their kids. We stayed in a nice hotel in Alexandria which is such a cute town . We did just some of the basic DC things and also just hung out at the hotel and swam. The kids loved it and Matthew thinks we are going back to visit Thomas. Sadly, they only have a few more weeks there so we feel lucky to have been able to see them.

Matthew enjoyed riding the metro as much as we did, Taylor not so much.

Our last night there we walked down king street to the water and rode the trolley and got ice cream. I think we had ice cream every night we were there....now that's a vacation.

We showed up a little early to get into the air and space museum. It was a little cold and you can see Taylor was not enjoying that part of it. Luckily it never poured on us while we were there and we got two beautiful sunny days.



Taylor smelling the cherry blossoms at the park.


We went to the zoo one day which was fun and so neat to see the panda. He was sitting there ating bamboo with his huge belly hanging. It was fun!


You can't really tell that there is a T-Rex behind us....hence the faces.



What a trip!! We loved it and can't thank Nolan and Ashley enough.

What a fabulous time in D.C.! The weather looked gorgeous down there. I don't think cherry blossoms look beautiful anywhere else.
