A lot of people asked me about all the sight seeing we would be doing in DC - and it's really not any. It's is actually all people seeing at the sights! Yesterday, while my darling husband slaved away at his meetings, the girls and I hopped on the metro out to Alexandria and had lunch with my step sister, Julie. We don't see her that often and aren't really in touch, but tanks to Facebook we've reconnected, and I sure am glad because we had a nice time with her!
The girls have traveled every day on the metro, and are getting used to it! They are almost ready for the tube of the NY subway!
Katie got the to the pier at the end of King Street and broke loose. She just loves being outside and near the water-
My step dad recommended a great place for lunch - so we headed there and found the address....
....only to discover it's no longer the Seaport Inn! Never the mind - we fond another place to eat and had a great day anyway!
Today - we got to experience the blessings of just how gracious God is to us! Our good friends form Charleston - Tara and Jamie - just happened to be in DC for Jamie's work commitments this week...so we got to spend the day with Tara and her precious girls! Becky had met them last year - but they got to meet Katie, and everyone got along famously! We met at the National Zoo, and were joined by two other CWA moms - one with kids and one solo (all her kids are in big and in school!)
Grace and Becky made fast new friends...
and Moli took charge of Katie!
The zoo has some very neat interactive features - this one showed where all the panda bears live on a huge map of China was you pressed the buttons; we were telling the girls that it was a map of China - and Grace made sure that we all knew she had been there! It was very cute!
Becky looks so studious here!
Grace, Katie & Sofia -
"if we stare long enough and wish hard enough, we just know that baby elephant will come out from behind that tree for us"
"see - told you"
Katie is becoming quite the little camera ham - preferring to pose for the camera than look at the elephant they waited so long to see!
We were quite the group moving through the zoo today - but no one got separated or lost!
Loved having Diane's big kids to help - what a great family she has!
Tomorrow it's off on a tour to see some sights...but I suspect we'll be doing as much visiting as seeing!
