Day trip to DC

On Saturday Don's sister, Leslie, and her son, David, came in town to stay with us for a few days. This is their first trip to Baltimore, so we were really excited to show them our neck of the woods. We don't get to see them that much so it is great to have an extended period of time to really connect and hang out. We spent a long day in DC on Sunday. It was a beautiful, sunny 70 degree spring day! Lucy decided to exert her independence and barely wanted to be held and want to "run" and "walk" by "myself" (which made me a little nervous with all the people around). In the picture below Lucy is ready to take the world by storm.
We went to the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum which had incredible airplane and rocket displays. The first airplane ever built by the Wright brothers was there. Unfortunately Don and I didn't get to see very many of the exhibits because we were too busy chasing our little runner around the museum.
We walked around the National Mall and showed Leslie and David a number of the memorials. One of my favorite is the WWII memorial (pictured below). This place has special significance for me since my grandpa is a decorated WWII veteran. He even has three purple hearts from his time in the service.
Don, Leslie, David, and Lucy posing by the Washington Monument. The last time we were so close to the Washington Monument it was the inauguration and we were freezing our butts off in 30 degree weather. It was fun to be back there and to remember the historical event that we witnessed only a couple months ago.

Here I am at 20 weeks preggers. We are halfway there already!!!
