Road Trippin' - Part 2!!
After all of our fun in the ATL we headed off for Daddy - 8 hours and one crazy crazy storm in North Carolina later we were at Daddy's place, kinda tired, kinda silly, kinda ready to relax!!
Daddy actually lives in Virginia just a few Metro stops from D.C., our first day there we went out and walked the streets of Alexandria - it's a pretty awesome little area with lots of cool shops and restaurants and a Whole Foods 2 blocks from Daddy's apartment!! We walked or rode the metro pretty much everywhere which we both loved!!
Here you are right outside of Daddy's...
Saturday was off to see the sights day!! We packed a TON into this one day but it was amazing and so much fun!! We rode around on a double decker open air bus, and got off at lots of places!! Here are a few highlights!
Well hello, Mr. President!!
You were so excited to get to the Lincoln Memorial!! If only that walk along the reflecting pond wasn't SOOOOOOOOOOOO long!!
Totally worth it once we got there...
We made a relatively quick trip through the Museum of National History - the Dinosaurs were your favorite - the Hope Diamond was mommy's!!
We also visited lots of monuments, and went to Arlington and the Ford Theater and lots lots of other places!! It was a long but pretty great day!!
Sunday was a day of REST!! We needed it after Saturday's see everything day... But on Monday we were off again and this time to the National Zoo which, hands down, my new most favorite zoo ever!! We had such a blast!! A few highlights...
There is a panda bear way way back there!!
well, hello Panda!!
This picture just makes me smile...
Tuesday morning came too soon and we hit the road - we drove straight through because your momma is kinda crazy and you happen to be a rock star in the car - 11 hours and 55 minutes later we were home sweet home... we both were wired and didn't fall asleep until close to midnight and then slept for 12 hours to wake up at noon, have a lunch breakfast and fall back asleep for a 2 hour nap.
All in all our road trip was pretty epic, pretty fun, and filled with great memories... For all the fun we had and all the cool things we saw, moments in the car with you are the ones I'll cherish the most for ever and ever...
I love you Bug-a-licious!!!
xoxo,
Momma
