After our ANGEL Lisa took us to the airport, got us settled inside and left us off at passport control (thank you again!), we were fortunate enough to get rides on two different airport buggies! We made it to the gate with plenty of time, started making friends with the passengers and after a bit of a delay, we boar
ded the plane. Mia was already asleep in the Ergo, Aiden was basically asleep on his feet and fell into a deeper sleep the minute he made it to his seat. Both kids slept 7 hours AT THE SAME TIME and I was able to watch a movie! Grandma and Grandpa were waiting at the airport to pick, us up and take us to Meamaws for a delicious breakfast of bagels, lox, cream cheese and white fish salad! YUM!The next week was spent battling jet lag (we won!) And I couldn't have expected more...the kids were up around 3:30am the first day, but by the end of the week, we had made it to 6:30am! WOoohoo!!
Some of the highlights of the week were a visit from Uncle Ken and lunch at lake Ann (playing in the fountains was SO MUCH FUN!) I think Meamaw got as wet as the kids...Uncle Ken definitely did!
An outing to Target was a major highlight! Meamaw even bought Aiden a lego space shuttle that Aiden and I spent the week working on...we finished it the day the Nasa launched the final shuttle in the space program! SO historic!
Next we had a visit from Cousin Edie. We went to the fountain pool and then went to Silver Diner that night. It happened to be "kids night" and we got free milk shakes! SO LUCKY!
A trip to Frying Pan Park with Donna, Prana, Quinn, baby William, Donna's sister and Grandpa was next on the agenda! The animals in the petting zoo were really interesting to look at, especially the Peacock who showed us his feathers--he was definitely as proud as a peacock! We even got to see a horsee named Michael (which made us think of daddy:) Aiden loved the old fashioned carousel...Mia was terrified, thank goodness Grandpa didn't let go!
The end of the week was greeted with a super trip to Dulles Town Center, a ride on the train and two rides on the carousel and a fabulous festival in Reston Town Center! There were some really super kids activities, some talented performers (a magician, a gymnast, a juggler, a hoola hooper and a tap dancer!! Such a great time was had by all....Thanks for having us Meamaw...on to week two at Grandma and Grandpa's house!
