A Visit by the Parental Units

My parents came to visit us.  I heart them and hope they had a good time.  Now for a ridiculous amount of photos.

The Lincoln Monument


This is my second favorite photo of the trip.


The Korean War Memorial


The Vietnam War Memorial


The Postal Museum


He owns this set of stamps...

I pretended to be a trucker.



The Jefferson Monument

Looking out over the incredibly flooded Tidal Basin.


Jefferson is crushing my mom's head!  He just needs to flex his biceps and this photo would be perfect!


My mom french braided my hair three times while she was here - LOVE!  I can't french braid my own hair.  In fact, I can't french braid at all.

The National Cathedral

In Baltimore watching the Orioles play the Nationals.
Our actual seats were in the shade, thank goodness.


Some old family haunts


T on the monkey bars at Somerset Elementary.


Iwo Jima / Marines Memorial - This is my favorite photo of the trip.

My dad took this one of me and T with his phone.


The Supreme Court

Super cool gold elevator doors at the Supreme Court.  I am very fascinated by the Supreme Court.  I really want to go back in October to see the court in action and hear oral arguments.

Awww, T's first plank was on the air mattress.

Playing darts.  My dad was the best, but my mom was the best come from behind player.

We went on a tour of the Capitol, but all the photos are on my parent's camera.  We also visited the Holocaust memorial and museum, but photos were not allowed.

We had remarkably good weather the entire time.  It was overcast and only rained once.  However, we had the worst traffic with my parents that we have ever had in D.C. (except for that time we moved here in a snow storm).  My parents were so good to us - they filled up our gas tank, did our dishes, bought us groceries, and took us out to eat several times.  We are really glad they came to visit.

You may wonder why T was not in very many photos.  He had crazy long hours at work because they are approaching a deadline.  He had to work full days on Saturday and Sunday.  Booo.
