Washington DC & Weekend with the Grandparents

Eric earned a fabulous trip to Washington DC with his work, and, of course, I went along as his guest. We enjoyed extravagant meals in a luxurious hotel just blocks away from the White House. (Thank you, Farmers!) I hadn't been since 8th grade, and he had never been so we tried to see as much as we could while we were there. This was the longest that we have ever been away from the girls so we were so excited to see them when we got home. We didn't get to see them for four days, which is a long time in Mommy and Daddy land! :)


Abigail and Ansley were able to spend time with both sets of grandparents. They started out with Nana and Papa Bear and then Grammy and Peepaw came into town. They enjoyed getting spoiled all weekend, but I think they were excited to see us when we got home. We had to wake them up even though it was almost midnight to say "hi" and give our kisses! Thank you to Abigail and Ansley's wonderful grandparents for letting us get away for a much needed adult weekend!
