A Quick Post...A Few Outings...

I owe a big thank you to my friend Adrienne, the friend of mine who recently moved out East....for finally getting me to go and do a few things in DC that I've been meaning to do for YEARS - and have never gotten around to.
We visited Mt. Vernon (the home of George Washington), The Natural History Museum (no pics), and the Air and Space Museum

The front of George Washington's beautiful house, my pictures don't do it justice.  
Some of the gardens
The back of the house - which overlooks the Potomac River
By the end of the trip....we had a very tired boy.  



Wesley, Austin, Damon....future astronauts?  
This museum was actually really cool...we wished that we could have actually enjoyed it - instead of literally chasing around 3 little boys

Adrienne and her boys...Damon and I...we finally caught them for a picture!

Oh, and Damon's big blue eyes are so beautiful. You took some wonderful pictures.
