Whirlwind DC Tour

Yesterday I drove and walked and scootered all over Maryland, Virginia and DC. Here's the rundown:

- checked out of Bethesda hotel

- drove to amazing Rockville target and got there for 8am door unlock.

- after shopping for K drove over to LL bean

- next down to AU to give Kate all the Target haul. Great to see her even if only for 15 min

- Looked for good hike in MD but wasn't finding what I wanted so drove to McLean to see the old Riley family house.

- explored McLean on foot for 1 1/2 hours and grabbed lunch.

- drove to old town Alexandria!

- walked for about 2 1/2 hours

- returned rental car and checked bag at airport

- cab to Lincoln memorial!

- Walk and scooter around the monuments!

- Uber back to airport!

Tom was Ed Sullivan in the production this weekend of Bye Bye Birdie! Kate donned her sock-hop costume from 5th grade to embrace the spirit of the show. For those of you unfamiliar with the musical, Bye Bye Birdie is set in 1958 and was influenced by Elvis Presley being drafted into the Army in 1957. Congrats, Tom!!

100 days left

We have just over 100 days left in the UK. The kids are super excited to get back to the States, and we are too. We have had a great time here, but look forward to being 'home'. This is the last week of term, and only term 3 left! The last term supposedly goes fast, as the weather improves, there are Suzuki concerts, the talent show, and lots of field trips. We have some travel still lined up, plus some visitors to join us - looking forward to seeing you, Auntie Sarah and Uncle Aaron! Stayed tuned for pictures of our last few adventures. We are starting to get the ball rolling on movers and pet shippers and all that fun stuff. And we have to have the whole flat cleaned once our stuff is out. One step at a time!
