We just had the best family vacation/Greg business trip to DC! Greg had to go on business (he still works in DC at townhall.com) but he was sweet enough to let us tag along this time:)
We got back last night and honestly I wanted to go ahead and stay through the weekend! The kids have not been back since we moved from DC back to Texas in 2007. We have been wanting to get them back but wanted to wait until they remembered more this time:) Reese was born in DC and it has a lot of sweet memories and is very sentimental to me and Greg. I was thrilled to get the kids back!
It was SO fun seeing all the apartments we lived in, visiting all our friends and going to all our favorite places!
I loved it and I know the kids had a BLAST! Greg had to work Friday, Monday and Tuesday but on the weekend we PACKED the day full of friends and sightseeing! On the weekdays the kids and I were busy spending time with friends and sightseeing! We got some great pictures and I even tried to get some similar poses that I remembered we had taken of the kids way back when they were babies! So fun! Enjoy the pictures!
*some of the pics are out of order but I'm too tired to mess with it:/ Roll with it;)
