Last weekend we skipped out of town to celebrate Grandma Margot's wedding and to catch up with family. We arrived late Thursday night and left mid-day on Sunday. In that time we managed to not only attend the wedding (in Richmond, VA), but also take in the natural history museum, the air and space museum (Dulles location), the zoo, celebrate an early Thanksgiving, and see the White House. It was, all in all, a crazy weekend, but an incredible one.
One of my favorite parts about the weekend was Oliver's comment as we dragged him out of the natural history museum: "Take everything else off my Christmas list. The only thing I want is a blue diamond." Great.
I also loved breakfast in bed. The bed was covered in eggs. It is not clear if anyone actually ate anything. But it was damn fun and the kids loved it. Here's to more breakfast in bed (and someone else doing the laundry after.)
Another great part - the plane. While we are a good solid year in to the kids being responsible for carrying their own bags (yipee!), and no longer needing to check bags, flights have still required a lot of parental attention. While the kids are incredible travelers they always do seem to want something from their bag, or want to chat just at the good part of some trashy HGTV show. This trip was different. The kids sat by themselves and had no interest in Davis and I at all. It was lovely.
