Spring break 2012

During spring break this year there was a last minute trip to the DC area.  Of the find-out-R1-needs-to-go-for-school-and-leave-three-hours-later sort of last minute. 

 

The first two days were spent with R1 working and the kids and I occupying ourselves with nature hikes, air and space museums, IKEA and random trying-not-to-get-lost wanderings in the car desperately searching for a playground.  All of which I took a total of 2 pictures.  Who is the photographer in the family?

When R1 was done with the pesky work stuff, we went to downtown DC and hit our favorites:  the Air and Space museum and the American History museum.  Followed by some random running up and down the gravel pathways and admiring of the Capitol and Washington Monument at dusk.  And capped by getting a little bit lost trying to find our way out of that darn place.

 

It was fun to escape for a few days, swim in the hotel pool, eat $7 hot dogs, and try out every single couch at IKEA.  Just maybe a little more notice next time, huh?
