We Live Here, So We Never Visit
My feet are killing me. My car is still over flowing with stuff. My camera is full of pictures (even though it is the old crappy one because my new camera is broken). It has been a good day.
We started off with a tip of the hat and a Top of the Morning to Ya at the Manassas St. Patrick's Parade. The Irish eyes were smiling as we lived like we were on the shores of Erin all decked out in our cherriest green. The sun was shining and (as Rachel put it) we didn't have to dress like tacos (wrap ourselves in blankets).
Then it was off to our nation's capital for the annual Kite Festival. Unfortunately, we missed the Kite Festival, but we did our own family walk about stopping at the Smithsonian garden, the Washington Monument, the World War II Memorial, and the White House. Interspersed there were hot dogs, baby food and ice cream. Also, there was a very poorly thought out game of Hide & Go Seek on The Mall. Hello kids, it is a big flat open space. Where are you going to hide? Either behing Mommy (great I am big enough for small children to hid behind) or just run away as far as you can get until a big kid is sent after you to drag you back to the stroller (you can guess who tried this strategy).
It was a great day! Enjoy some photos (even though they are from the crappy camera, oh how I lust after a better camera, but that is a post for another time).
I love the pictures. It looks like you guys had a nice day! : )
