Virginia....


Over spring break we visited Colleen and John in Virginia. We all had a great time and the weather was beautiful! Colleen is a wonderful hostess and cooked special yummy food for the kids (and us).

We visited a farm on our first day there. The kids had fun looking at all the different animals. Iain's favorite was the horses....I'm not sure what Ella liked the best. She seemed to be fascinated with it all!

We visited the National Zoo in DC which is amazing! Huge and free! Here is a picture of Ella at the zoo making faces at some frogs.

Colleen joined us on our trip into downtown DC. Iain really wanted to see dinosaur bones so we visited The Museum of Natural History. Talk about over stimulation! There was so much to see in there I think the kids were both a little overwhelmed! In this picture we were in front of a huge wholly mammoth skeleton but it is really hard to see.

We walked around a little and saw the white house and few other places, but it was so hot that day it was hard to do much walking. So we got over priced ice cream from a street vendor and sat in the shady grass for a while....until Iain decided he had to go to the bathroom....then we had to frantically look for a restroom.

Thanks for having us Colleen and John! We can't wait until our next visit!
