Washington, D.C.

The hilariousness of these kid-sized cheetah print robes they offered at the hotel was beyond words. Alex insisted on wearing this each night after bath, to which Abby would reply "Andy, pants!!" She calls him Andy. Alex and Aunt Jackie at Union Station.

If only we'd had this plastic bag set up on the way off our inbound flight!

For Spring Break this year, we traveled to Washington, D.C. to visit Brad's sister Jackie. Grandma Kathy and Gigi were also visiting D.C. at the same time to celebrate their "big" birthdays so it was a good time for us all to meet up and visit together. Despite chilly temps and Abby's less-than-impressive bout of motion sickness while disembarking the airplane on Tuesday, we had a lovely time on the East Coast. Alex totally digs all forms of public transportation so he is in heaven any time he goes to D.C. and the complementary milk and cookies in the hotel for the kids made his night! We visited the Air and Space Museum, Museum of Natural History, National Building Museum, Union Station, and lots of Metro Stops and restaurants in between.
