Me and T exploring DC

While Daddy was busy preparing, studying and mooting, T and I spent our time exploring the sites of DC. It was super cold outside, so we mostly spent our days in the incredible and FREE Smithsonian museums. But we did enjoy the gorgeous cherry blossoms that were just beginning to bloom around the city.

Mr. T decided he'd like to be the next president if it meant he could have access to all of that grass! He kept trying to break through the fence telling me he wanted to play!

We spent a whole day in the Air and Space Museum by Dulles Airport. Talmage was more than impressed. I think the only words that left his mouth the whole time were cool, awesome, sweet and wow! Well, and he wanted to know where Buzz was when we saw the space shuttle! Our dear friend Andrew found this gem for us, and was our personal tour guide the whole time we were there. We couldn't have done any of this without him.

T's favorite parts of the Natural History Museum were Insect World and the fish tank (although he liked the African Safari area as well). Luckily the tank was full of Nemo and Dory so he was super entertained (and interuppted the worker at the tank everytime a new person came up to tell them all about the Nemo and Dory fish!)

The American History Museum was just as amazing. T loved the trains and cars, I loved the first ladies dresses and ruby slippers! Talmage ran right up to that ridiculously pregnant statue and started saying, "Is Mommy! Is Mommy!" It's nice to know that I look big to someone!

T ended up watching old car movies with the old men in the museum. He eventually went and sat by them, telling them, "I am Tommersh. I two." I was just impressed he didn't scream at them (we're trying to work through that stage!) I loved seeing the ruby slippers, although they've lost their glitz.

And look at that stud! We only saw him once or twice all week and we missed him like crazy! We were so excited when we were all able to go out to dinner together.

The trip would've been impossible without our awesome friends. The Morgan family let T and I stay in their beautiful home and they gave both of us lots of love (and gave T lots of attention!) And again, Andrew took so much time out of his schedule to pick us up, take us around the city, and plan fun events he knew we'd love (for example, he took us to a parking lot at Reagan Airport where you can watch airplanes take off right over your head. T was in HEAVEN and kept yelling, "AWESOME!") Thank you!
