Washington DC trip!


Last October Andy had to go to DC for a conference, Elias and I were excited to tag along! See pictures of a sweet cute little baby in DC here. We liked it so much that this September when Andy found out he had a meeting there again... we wanted to go! BUT... since then a few things have changed, like Elias is 16 months, not 5 months, he is walking and adventuring, not cuddling, I am working teaching one night a week.. just so happened to prevent us from flying out with Andy.
Elias and I headed for a cross country flight from Portland to Newark, and then on to DC at 6:30 am. No, I will NEVER do that again with a 16 month old boy with as much energy as he has. nope. Only one break down... by mom and a few more before that by Elias.
DC itself was great! Elias had a great time
Gettysburg visitor center above. The most important part was of course... the landscaping rocks. (below William booth house where Abe Lincoln finished delivering Gettysburg address)
We got to see Aunty Sally (my college friend) again!


We got to see the solar decathlon houses!

Sloth bear and panda bears at the National Zoo!


Sleep in the carseat and in the closet....
Visit Fresia, who lives in Baltimore. (my friend from Honduras)


and play, play, play... but home is always good too!
