Washington DC

With labor getting closer (hopefully), we decided to take a day trip to Washington DC to see the Cherry Blossoms. It was perfect weather and other than hitting traffic on the way down, it was a perfect Saturday. Some highlights:

• Being stuck in a less than desirable neighborhood in DC in traffic. A homeless man was sitting on the corner with a long brown beard and hair. Jaxson rolled down the window and yelled, "Hey Jesus, it's me Jaxson"
• Getting to the Cherry Blossom festival and finding out it most of the blossoms fell off on Tuesday. We still managed to walk around and find a few trees with blossoms still left.
• Walking F-O-R-E-V-E-R from the festival to the Air and Space Museum. I thought for sure it would bring on labor. No such luck, just caused a terrible back ache.
• Distracting Jaxson so he wouldn't see all the McDonalds along the way to the Air and Space Museum and back.
• Finding Jade's FAVORITE place to eat on the way home....The Golden Corral. Eating rolls with honey butter until I was sick.
• Eating lunch as a family next to the Potomac River and watching the men fish along the banks. I could have just sat on that bench all day in the sun.
• For Jade, I think the most memorable moment was being able to use his Camaro as a family car. It may have been the last and only time it will be used to drive this family to any destination.
• And my most memorable moment will be all the stops I made between the festival and the museums to use the bathroom. I would make an excellent tour guide now for those who are bladder impaired.
