DC Trip

One thing that's really nice about living here is that we get to connect with folks we wouldn't normally see and see places that aren't are usuals. We left early Saturday morning to drive up the Washington DC. We drove about 3 1/2 to get to Gaithersburg, Maryland where are friends from law school live. It was fun to see there house and give our boys a chance to play. They got along so well and the adults all got to chat for hours. We also had delish paninis, so now that's my new mission... buy a panini maker.

Here are Miles and Parker. Park is about 9 months older but Miles is taller. Shocking.

 Sarah and me.

 Then we drove down to Alexandria, Virginia to see my friends Arin and Evan's new house. It's so cute. A bonus was that my cousin who has an internship at the Pentagon was able to visit too. Fun night. The boys hadn't seen her in a long while, but they felt comfortable right away:)

 We took a cold walk to get some delicious dinner. So much fun being with special friends.

 Us with cousin Kiersten.

 And us with Arin and Evan... and the dog, Costello.

 Kiersten wedged between the boys when we went to drop her at the train station.

We opted to drive home that night since it wasn't super late and we had friends coming for dinner the next day. It's always nice to be in your own bed, but we just felt so blessed to have so many wonderful people in driving distance. CAn't wait to get up there again, or better yet... have them come down here to visit:)
