D.C

Of course Froggy went with us to D.C.


All those amazing museums you hear about in DC. Guess what they are FREE!!! Upon recommendation we went to the Air and Space museum. It was so incredible. There was some kind of flying machine everywhere you looked.



I couldn't believe how beautiful some of those machines were, let alone their enormous size. Would someone please tell me how they got all those planes, rockets and space shuttles into that building?

So Alex has this thing for Einstien. We went the library a few months ago and he found on the shelf a short biography of Albert Einstein... written for like a 10 year old. Alex loved it and sat through the whole book while I read it to him. So we thought it would be appropriate to take a picture of Alex at the Einstein Memorial.



We visited Bobby's digs while we were there. Bobby is a college friend of Patrick's. He showed us some sites and we caught up with the goings on of his life. One site we saw was the US Navy Memorial, which was amazing. It is on a giant world map. And there are small sculptures of famous moments in Us Naval history. And on the map is the statue of a man with his bags looking out across the world. It was beautifully done.

Hi hi! So a couple things:
-sorry I never got back to you when you were in NYC. Life/work has been nuts and I literally was in NYC for 3 nights in March (and sadly wasn't here when you all were :( )
-I just realized you were in DC!! Are you still there? How long will you be there? That's where I am every week for work AND Dom lives there!
-You all look wonderful and happy and Alex is growing up so handsomely. Hope you are well! Write me and let me know where you are! Miss you!

What fun trips you guys!! It's so fun to see all your pics--even the one where I thought half of Patrick was extended outside the bed. I first didn't understand how he could do that and then I saw the handstand. :)
