It's a Wonderful Life

On Saturday, we drove out to D.C. to do the tourist thing and see some sights.  It was the perfect way to kick off Memorial Day weekend! Apparently every Memorial weekend there is a national motorcycle thing.  It was crazy to drive up and see thousands of motorcycles and their lovely riders all together. I really needed to find some "facilities" so the boys, my mom, and I jumped out of the van by the Lincoln Memorial while Erik, Anna, and my Dad went to the Reagan building to park. haha I look like the most annoying tourist talking on my phone right in front of Lincoln's statue.  I was trying to talk to Erik and find out where they were :) Patriotic (and sunny!) I'm sad the reflecting pool is drained.  I always think of the scene in Forrest Gump when Jenny runs through the water, trying to get to Forrest :) After we met up, we had our picnic lunch by the World War II memorial.  It was a nice spot, but have I mentio...

Last Tuesday night my parents flew in for a week long visit- blessed and blessed! Not an uncommon sight: grandchildren being spoiled with loving attention :) On Wednesday we got some sandwiches from the Country Store (Erik's favorite) and brought them over to Jim Barnett park. A rabbit hopped by, and Wyatt was showing us what a rabbit looks like :) One afternoon, we went over to Jackson's school to eat lunch with him.  I love that his school encourages that.  Anna isn't too keen on being held or strapped into anything, and pretty much just wants to walk everywhere. On Thursday we went over to George Washington's office here in Winchester and to the walking mall. Friday, we went over and picked some strawberries. It was HOT.  I seriously can't imagine being a produce picker all day. Those people are tough. Anna really relished the grandparent love.  I'm sure she woke up this morni...
