Dirk, Ian & I went on our first family vacation. We had a really wonderful time! We went to DC/DE from June 15-20. Ian was a perfect angel on the plane going to DC. He nursed on take off & then slept for 2 hours. When he woke, he played nicely & had a good time. The first two nights we stayed at our friends, the Martins, in Bethesda, MD. Dirk, Ian & I enjoyed the heat! We sat on the screened in porch, drank wine & watched fireflies. Jen was a perfect hostess. Ford was so gracious & gave up his crib for Ian. Annabelle made a beautiful card for Ian for his tote bag the Martins gave him.
Wednesday we all got up & went for a run. Then we visited the Smithsonian American Art Museum & walked the Mall. Thursday we went for a run again and then were back to DC & visited the National Archives where we saw the Declaration of Independence, Bills of Rights & Emancipation Proclamation. After that we went to the National Gallery of Art, & the Smithsonian Castle.
Friday we were off to the Hotel Du Pont in Delaware to get ready & go to my cousin Melissa's wedding. The wedding was gorgeous! And it was fun to see all my family--Mom, Marv, Julie, Bob, Melissa, Tom, Linn & Katie. Ian wore his little suit & was quite the charmer!
Saturday we drove back to DC. Ian went for his first swim in the pool & really liked it! On this day we walked the Mall & saw the White House, the Washington Monument, WWII Memorial, Vietnam Memorial, Lincoln Memorial & Reflecting Pool. Sunday was Father's Day and we had a nice brunch back at the Martin's. Ian was a little more fussy on the flight home. It was a great vacation!
