Trip to Washington D.C.

At the beginning of November, I took a trip with Laurie and her 18 month old son, Marshall, to Washington D.C. to visit our college roomie Meagan who lives there now. Meagan's husband was transferred to the DC office in May and Meagan and her daughter moved up there in June to be with him. They live about 1 hour away from the city in Warrenton, Virginia. It is a beautiful little town with one of everything you need but about a 30 mile drive from nice conveniences in Fairfax. Marshall was great on the plane and we had a great visit. We got there late Thursday night and Friday got up to drive into town to go to lunch and go to the National Zoo....it was a very nice FREE zoo that had a lot of indoor exhibits because of how cold it gets there most of the year. Saturday we went to town again and went to the American History Museum which was FABULOUS! Definitely a place I can't wait to go to with Curt...he will love it! We took the kids with us and then Brian met us and drove both kids home so we could have girl time! We went and did touristy things like look at the monuments around town and enjoyed a kid free dinner at Ebbits....it was so YUMMY! Sunday we went to Fairfax and went shopping for Tatum's birthday since we won't be there to celebrate with her! We all got her dress up clothes...she was not fond of them...eventually she won't want to wear the real clothes! We also went maternity shopping for Laurie and Meagan! Laurie is having a little girl in March and Meagan will soon find out what she is having (hoping for a boy)! We were sad to leave on Monday, but I did miss my babies and were so excited to see them when I got home! Thank you Meagan for a wonderful time!!!!!! LOVE YOU AND CAN'T WAIT FOR YOU TO MOVE HOME!
