We had a wonderful trip to the Nation’s capital this weekend, enjoying fun times with both friends and family! We toured around DC on the Metro, celebrated my cousin’s wedding and had a nice visit with the Willis Family. They were even nice enough to let Maeve have a sleep over with her friends Rachel and Fiona, which was probably the highlight of her trip! We saw many sites, including the Capitol, the American History Museum, the National Zoo and we picnicked on the Mall. Seeing the pandas and the elephants was lots of fun since we can’t see those animals in Chicago, and I loved exploring old town Alexandria. My cousin Brad’s wedding at Mt. Vernon was a really fun party and a special reunion for my family. We did a lot of dancing and celebrating together – there aren’t many pictures because we were way too busy enjoying ourselves!
The one bummer from the trip was that Maeve got her finger caught in a door and is now sporting a new addition to her wardrobe. She certainly was upset when it happened, but we didn’t think it was broken so I waited and took her to our own doctor today. She was such a brave girl and didn’t even cry! The splint is a precaution and hopefully will help her thumb heal quickly.
Even though we love living in Chicago, we are rooting for the Wings to lock up the Western Conference Championship this week and play for the Cup! GO WINGS!!!
Funny word alert: I love when Maeve talks about the computer – she calls it a “palloot!”
