Boys Baseball

We could have gone to a game every night last week! All of the rain at the start of the season has made for some crazy schedules.

We went to watch Zach on Tuesday night...

and Bryce play on Thrursday.

365 - Week 23

365 days = 365 photos

Saturday - Dear Cannoli, Where have you been all my life???

Sunday - Guess who got a bath and all shined up?

Monday - We had "faux" lobster rolls for dinner... They were so yummy I ate the leftovers for lunch two days in a row. Don't mind Handy, he refused to smile even though I let him push the remote button.

Tuesday - Baseball game!

Wednesday - Baseball game take 2!

Thursday - Summer afternoons + sunshine = reading in the backyard.

Friday - Ready for the rehearsal.

Gettysburg

I didn't take many pictures at Gettysburg since we were touring in the bus and it was raining off and on. All of these come from Little Round Top, which had the best views anyway.

General Warren, Army of the Potomac

91st Pennsylvania Infantry

Mount Vernon

We went to Mount Vernon (which I kept referring to as Martha's Vineyard) after the museums. It rained on our way out but cleared up when we got off the bus. Our time there was a little short because of traffic back in the city.

I don't have a lot of photos because you weren't allowed to take pictures inside the house... I took this one before the lady said anything ;o)

There wasn't much furniture but the beds were really short (Handy would never have fit in one comfortably) and some of the original paint colors were strange, like bright green strange.

The view from the back was awesome. They said that Mount Vernon had bought all the property on the far side of the river so the view would be the same as when old George lived there.

Smithsonian

We went to two of the three Smithsonian museums... We only had 3 hours which is hardly enough for one of the museums.

We started at the Air and Space... mainly because we had to go there to eat lunch. Neither of us are very interesting in that type of stuff. It made for some cool pictures though.

I really don't think I would try to get airborne in this thing... it seems pretty flimsy even with the wires attaching it to the ceiling.

We spend the majority of our time at the American History museum.

This Stradivarius was amazing. I love the detail on the side.

Julia Child's kitchen

Behind this metal flag was the flag that inspired the Star Spangled Banner... It was pretty awesome. I think that may have been my favorite thing we saw. It was huge but the exhibit made me dizzy because it was dark and the ground looked like it was moving. The dizziness may have been a side effect of all the cold medicine I was taking but the display didn't help.

365 - Week 22

365 days = 365 photos

Saturday - It's official.. skirt season is here! I traded all of my work shoes for flip flops

Sunday - We put our new welcome mat out on the porch. We got it at Christmas but didn't want to put it out in yucky weather. It matches the little flag we have in the front garden.

Monday - Happy Memorial Day! They do a great job of decorating with flags in our little town.

Tuesday - I'm ready for summer reading! I am way behind on my reading goal for this year... I don't know if I will make it but I sure will try.

Wednesday - Final free day of the year = 7 hours of corn hole + a sun burn. I'm almost good enough to beat the Handy Man... almost.

Thursday - Last day of school... You can see my awesome sun burn in this picture.

Friday - I finally bought a new swimsuit after 6 years of wearing the same one. I LOVE it!!!

The White House

Lots of landmarks + a small area = tons of photos!

The U.S Treasury

We couldn't go into the White House so we walked through Lafayette Park to St. John's Church.

1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

The Capitol... highest building in D.C, thanks to Freedom on the dome.
