Sometimes I take TONS of pictures of our everyday life. Sometimes we go on fun adventures and I basically take no pictures. This is the latter. We went to DC for the weekend of March 1st and I took about 20 pictures the whole time. Jesse and I lived in DC before we had kids and this was our first time back together since we moved (we have both been back for business reasons). We have so many friends and family down there that I actually had to make a list of get togethers and we still missed some people.
On Friday, we ventured to the National Air and Space Museum. Elliott's favorite part? The escalator. And maybe the elevator, too. He did like watching the videos of aircraft takeoff and land on a carrier deck.
Funny escalator story. On that Saturday, we took the Metro in to another museum. Jesse and Elliott rode up the escalator out of the station while Lucy and I took the stroller up the elevator. When stepping onto the escalator, Elliott exclaimed, "it's stairs . . . that move!!" Jesse and the other adults within earshots were very entertained by his discovery.

Even little planes look big there.
Running, running, running.
We tried to get Elliott to stand by the nose of this plane but he opted for the flight attendant display instead.
With the big planes.
The real reason behind our trip to DC was to attend an engagement party for our good friends Toby and Steve. Toby is my best friend from college. They surprised everyone and tied the knot at the engagement party! It was wonderful! We were so happy to be there for the big event.
Steve, checking out his new bride and her baby bump. Baby Hedger is due in May!
On Sunday, we found a playground and Elliott was eager to get his wiggles out.
Making some friends.
I got nervous when he first started climbing on here.
But he is an agile little monkey!
The cartrip when amazingly well. We borrowed a seat-mounted DVD player from the Ortmans and brought big headphones for Elliott. He was happily entertained by Nemo, Thomas, and other movies while we enjoyed relative quiet. Lucy was a champ, too. We had a perfect system where I would pump and bottle feed her to reduce stops.
We hope to have some other traveling adventures soon!
Oh, and as for that goal of being caught up by the time Jesse left? Fail. He left yesterday. Not caught up.
