We arrived at Chrysti's Monday afternoon. The girls called every couple minutes as we got closer and closer asking if we were there yet. Shortly after arriving, we headed to swimming lessons. Julie did so great! After putting the kids to bed, we played Quiddler. I love this card game. It is a game where you make words from the letters on the cards. Really fun! Unfortunately, exhaustion hit me pretty hard and I had to take 2 naps on Tuesday to recover from staying up so late the night before.Wednesday we visited Mt. Vernon, George Washington's home and grounds. I love this type of stuff. The tour of the house was so fun. It is amazing how everything was sooo different! The view from the house of the Potomac was gorgeous too (I of course forgot my camera). It was a little chilly and Chrysti and I were beyond exhausted....so after the tour of the house we went to the museum and let the girls play in the children's area and we just sat...it was nice. Needless to say, I went to bed really early that night.
Thursday, Chrysti and I went shopping for a couple dresses she needs for events in May. We first went to The Children's Place.....I cannot wait to shop for our baby! There are so many cute clothes! We found 2 adorable dresses for Chrysti, too! Thursday night, we celebrated Kayley and Ally's birthdays since we won't be able to come to their actual birthday party. Boy do they love opening gifts!
We got Ally Ladybug Pajamas and Beauty and the Beast Polly Pockets.
We got Kayley a Butterfly Bathing Suit and Coverup with flipflops!
Friday came so fast! We went into Washington DC and visited the American History Museum. Since Chrysti has lived up there this museum has been closed for renovations. The museum was unbelievably crowded! Each exhibit had a 30 min or so line....at a museum! It felt like we were at Six Flags or something. My favorite exhibit was The First Ladies. The exhibit displayed famous dresses worn by the 1st Ladies, as well as their shoes or purses or jewelry. It was so interesting and everything was so beautiful!
I don't remember which day, but we also had an Easter egg hunt inside.
Overall, it was a wonderful trip...but I am glad to be back home with my hubby :)
