We spent the rest of the day touring around DC. Lesley was a good sport. It probably wasn't the best idea to make a woman 7 month's pregnant, walk all over the bloody city! However, it was clear skies and sunshine all day long. I think she loved an escape from the rain in Seattle. I haven't been back to some of the sites since I interned a few years ago. We hit the National Archives, the White House, and of course found ourselves in Georgetown the rest of the evening. Why does Anthropolgie have to be so dang expensive?? Hands down the cutest store. I accidentally purchased a new pair of pants...on sale of course! Lesley found an adorable spring dress that looks gorgeous on her. Fun times, fun times!
The next day we headed to Annapolis, MD. What a great little place to visit. We walked along the old brick sidewalks and enjoyed a day of window shopping, ice cream, and men in uniform. Annapolis is the home of the United States Naval Academy. The scenery, and homes were delightful. Two thumbs up for Annapolis!
Later that evening we took a walk around the Lincoln Memorial, and World War II Memorial, two of my favorite places in DC. I especially enjoying walking around the monuments at night. It has the potential to be a fun, romantic stroll outside...maybe someday :) I am grateful for the memorials, and what they stand for. I am reminded of how blessed we are as a nation. I am also reminded that I must always remember and pay tribute to those who paved the way for me to enjoy the freedoms I have today.
It is never easy for me to say goodbye! I love my family, especially when they come and visit me! Thank you Lesley for a wonderful weekend! And I can't wait to see the rest of you soon...right?! Press forward with those DC planning meetings! Brian, make it happen!
Thanks Jared and Haley for sharing your wife and mommy! I can't wait to see you both this summer. I think this little one will be pretty happy to be reunited with mommy! Although I am told she had quite the party with dad: zoo, park, Ihop, Target...doesn't get much better than that!
Look it her in her Michigan get up! Too precious.

That looks like so much fun! Sisters are the greatest! I didn't know she was pregnant either, how exciting! Girl or boy?
