Washington DC trip

This summer marked a major milestone for Abby - her first plane trip!  Donald, Emily, Abby, and I took a two day trip to Washington DC to experience some history, but also to experience the fun of flight.  Abby was a real trooper!  Even though I kept Dramamine and the puke bag handy, she never needed it - even when we flew home during a thunderstorm!  The girls are great travelers and stayed in good spirits while we walked all over town (with the exception of a pedicab trip on the very last day, but I take full responsibility for that.  I just couldn't walk any more!) Can't wait to see where our next trip leads us!

Lucite bubble chairs at the very trendy Donovan House Hotel.  Hipsters everywhere.

Fantastic rooftop pool with an excellent view

Loving the Museum of Natural History!

There's always time for a good book!  There was an exhibit about Little Golden Books at the Museum of American History!

Ruby slippers

Anyone still have one of these?  I grew up with this thing!

Of all the odd things, the Donovan House offers guests a complimentary goldfish to keep during their stay.  This was a big hit with the kiddos.

We all love Amelia Earhart!

One million dollars!

The pedicab was a blessing to my sore feet and an adventure for the girls.

I think this is the only picture I have of Donald from the entire trip - we're just landing back home in Atlanta.

Amusing themselves with cards on the way home.  See, all that stuff I pack actually has a purpose!

Look how sweet - holding hands during takeoff!

Keeping occupied during our four hour hangout at Ronald Reagan.. The little charging cubicles make a great playhouse!

On display at the Museum of American History.  I used to play Oregon Trail on one of these things!

Emily took home an okapi from Natural History to add to her strange stuffed animal collection - armadillo, opossum, okapi, etc.

Ready for takeoff!

Reveling in the joys of airplane snacks

We all needed a jolt of caffeine before we took off - very EARLY - in Atlanta.

Complimentary goldfish!  I love the way Emily's hair is flying up in the background of this shot.
