We've been busy this week, entertaining our friends from Michigan. Our 'third daughter' Leah, arrived with her Mom (Carol), Dad (Mark) and brother (Anthony) on Sunday evening. They made the grueling 12-hour drive from Michigan to deliver Leah to us - she's joining us on our vacation this year. We'll spend this week showing the everyone around the Washington, DC area.
We started off this morning with a visit to the Lincoln Memorial, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, and the Korean War memorial. We had planned to do more outdoors, but we're having one of our famous 'heat waves'. By 10AM it was 92 degrees with about 60% humidity. Yuk. We were all drenched! I made the command decision to move activities to the comfort of the air conditioned museum of Natural History and the Air & Space Museum.
I dropped everyone off at the museum and headed home with Josie, who needed a diaper change and a nap. James arranged for a tour of the Capitol at 2PM. He'll meet the gang at the Air & Space Museum, walk over to the Capitol and then everyone will ride the train home. What a full day!
Other events planned for this week include a visit to the Marine Corps museum in Quantico and visits to the other outdoor memorials in Washington (FDR, Jefferson, etc.) once the weather breaks... It looks like we'll have to wait until Friday for the outdoor tours - forecasters say we'll have temps in the 90's with high humidity until then.
We are so thrilled to have the Nonis' here with us - it's their first visit to Washington and Virginia. I just wish the weather would have cooperated a little better!
