Washington DC

We had a great time in DC. They boys were troopers getting no naps and going to bed at 10 each night. Grandma and Grandpa got to spend quality time with them, and we got some good visiting in with my cousin, Andrew Ruga. He's in the Coastguard Honor Guard, going on year two. Once again, we saw that DC is way too big to see in 2 days, but we had a blast.

We rode the subway and went through the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History on Sat. before dinner at Uncle Erastis and Aunt Selma's. Then on Sun we toured Andrew's base. It was very cool to hear and see just what they do. Then we walked around Alexandria, Virginia which was beautiful, Isaiah's going to take me on a long date there sometime. I informed him of that anyway.

Then we went to dinner with my dads cousin and saw the Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monuments by moonlight. Spectacular! Poor Andrew got a crash course in toddlerhood with Ethan waking up crying for daddy to him, wondering where we had walked off to. Sorry Andrew :) ! He did show us the stick garden you made for him later.
