Our trip to Vegas, I mean D.C.

I've never been to Washington D.C. before, and why has no one ever told me that it's a lot like Las Vegas? Everything is so fancy and over the top, some things verging on ostentatious...(the distinguishing factor for each place being that one is tacky, one is classy, i don't like to point fingers, so i'll let you figure out for yourself which is which)I loved it! J's sister, Kristy, moved there about a year ago, so we went to see her.
First things first. Accessories. We'd only been there about 5 minutes when, G, Grandma and I started trying on shoes, and coveting handbags, etc. Kristy has the best accessories.

G getting a wiping lesson from Igor the Excellent Wiper. I told J that if he, I mean Igor, doesn't stop making getting wiped so fun, she's never going to wipe her own bum.

The National Zoo was so fun, not mention free. And within walking distance from Kristy's apt.

One of J's best friends, Sam, lives near D.C., and we were able to go see them. It was great because they have children the same ages as ours.

This is at the Natural History Museum, which G LOVED. She has been really into dinosaurs lately. The best was that she had brought a little notepad and pen with her, and as soon as we got into the dinosaur part, she took it out and was walking around 'taking notes'.
Generally, I'm not a super museum-lover-type, but a free and actually cool museum is a whole different story.


This was at the Botanical Gardens, they had an orchid display from A-Z or something like that, this is G with the G.

A cool cactus in the botanical gardens.
The crew. Let's face it, anything that got us away from this excruciatingly long Ohio winter would have been fabulous, but we really did have such a great time, what a fun trip!
