Aunt Sandy Visits Us

Thanksgiving week was quite busy, but very fun for us. My sister Sandy came up to Maryland to visit with us. She is so brave !! She drove more than 10 hours with just her and two little ones, Connor and baby Kaylee. They all did awesome!!


Sandy arrived on Sunday and on Monday we started our DC tour. On Tuesday we headed down town to visit the Natural History Museum. Connor wanted to see animals and since it rained the whole time they were up we were not able to go to the zoo. He saw stuffed animals and animal bones at the museum. He liked this but most of all I think he liked the dino bones!! After we finished the Natural History Museum we stopped by Air and Space to see some airplanes and spaceships. Connor really liked this.

Again on Wednesday it was raining so we thought it a good idea to visit the Aquarium. Connor got to see live fish. He enjoyed that. Then we stopped by the American History Museum to see things like the preserved flag and C3PO.

On Thursday, Thanksgiving Day, we headed for Ga. We made it in record time. We only stopped once to fill up with gas and potty!!

We enjoyed our time with Aunt Sandy, but most of all the boys enjoyed having Connor and Baby Kaylee around.

On Saturday, November 14 was our big appointment tour day. We had to have reservations to see the White House and the Capitol. So we started our day off at the White House at 9 am. We walked though the Red, Blue, Green Rooms. We also walked through the Senate Dinning Room. We were not allowed to take pictures in the White House. So there goes that scrapbook page. I guess we will have to rely on our memories, which is fading the older I get. Ha Ha ha
Our tour time for the Capitol started at 2pm. They allowed us to take pictures, YEA!!! We enjoyed our tour and our to guide. She was very informative and entertaining. At the end of our tour we were allowed to sit in on the Senate as they debated on the Health Care Bill. This was a very historic day, we were so glad that we were able to observe this in progress.
We had a full informative day !! There is still so much more to see. More for another weekend.
