This last week we spent some time with our only other friends on the east coast, Jen and Randy. We flew down to Maryland, David got his own seat on the plance, and rented a minivan (they upgraded us for free!) It was so much fun to drive around all together. Jen and Randy have two little ones, Annelise 5 months and Danny who just turned 3, so we had a party van. We had many fun adventures, but some of the best times were just hanging around their house
and watching the kids interact. Annelise, Danny and David were troopers in the van as we went to the Baltimore Aquarium, University of Maryland (where Randy is a professor!), and of course shopping, shopping, shopping. Jennifer and I hit a couple of malls with the kids while Randy and Andrew got some work done. In the evenings we took turns having date nights, it was nice to have babysitters again and Jen and I even went out for a girls night out.
On the weekend we ventured into Washington D.C. I can't believe how close they live to our nation's capital. It was truly amazing to see the sights. The White House, the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monutment, etc. These are the places I taught my students about and there I was looking at them first hand. Everyone needs to experience it for themselves. The best thing of all, all the sightseeing is free!!! All the Smithsonian museums are free. We only had a chance to see the National Air and Space Museum, but there will be more trips to follow.
