Doing D.C.

Eric, his mom (Connie), Sophie, and I went to D.C. for the day on Monday. We met David Vaughn (Farquaad) there and did the Old Town Trolley tour of the monuments around the mall. It was a great guided tour, with on/off privileges and we never waited more than 5 minutes for the trolley. Plus, the drivers were all to happy and ready to help with strollers and bags. My favorite was the Lincoln memorial. Wow! It was truly epic. We had so much fun and Soph was a real trooper, as we hauled her in and out of the trolley. We spend the afternoon at the Smithsonian Museum of American History . I loved the Julia Child exhibit that displays her kitchen and memorabilia. Eric loved the Star Spangled Banner display, which was crazy cool and could give anyone a sense of patriotism with it's war torn ends and time tattered material. You could almost feel an aura of what it must have felt like to keep our freedom as a country that day. On the other hand, Soph was none to impressed as she reclined and fell fast asleep in her comfy stroller, lined with a soft J.J.Cole sleeping bag thing and her favorite, super soft blanky from Pottery Barn Kids. We headed back to Annapolis at about 7. It had been a full day, but with 18 more Smithsonian Museums and a slew of other museums ( The Spy Museum being at the top of our list), we may have to visit D.C. again. Good thing Eric's parents just moved to Annapolis. Even if not on another National Tour of a Broadway Show, we'll be back soon.
