Wahington DC

I have been trying to post these-but I was having some technical difficulties! We got back from Washington DC a week ago. We had a great time. It was extremely hot! Temps of about 110 because of the humidity. Kipp was miserable and told me repeatedly that he never needs to come back here ever again!

We also had a tour of our Nation's Capitol by one of Jim Matheson's interns. Here we are outside of Jim Matheson's office. By far my favorite part of the Capitol Building was under the dome where all of the incredible art work is. Ayden appreciated it as well!

Here we are at Mt. Vernon (one of the prettiest places ever). Kipp and Ayden were posing for this picture next to the rooster when Ayden almost grabbed the rooster's tail. I have never seen Kipp move so fast!More Mt. Vernon pictures-beautiful!

When we got back from Mt. Vernon we were really hot and decided to take Ayden swimming at the hotel pool. It was a little too cool-so it took him some time to make up his mind about it-but ended up having a great time.

Sunday morning we were off to Alexandria. Such a cute little town with some darling flower shops, restaurants, and shopping galore-wish we had more time there! On our way there on the metro ride I slathered the sunscreen on Ayden. A mohawk was the end product-and don't you love his cheesy new grin?

A little place in Alexandria The Warehouse-had to get a family pic!

My cute cousin Callie met me for a hot afternoon stroll down the Mall. By the time we got to the Lincoln Memorial Ayden was stripped down to a diaper. His cheeks were bright red-it was HOT!

Monday moring was spent at Arlington Cemetary. While watching the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier I had beads of sweat dripping off my face!

Home again! Ayden was great on the plane ride there and then oh so busy on the way back-not bothering anyone but his family! Thanks Betty for such a fun trip!
