Hey Baby –

Here are some pictures from our adventures in DC over the 4th of July. I had to give a talk at a conference on Thursday, so you and Daddy Jim played in Museums and such for a couple days – and then I got to join you and we all played for a couple more days. The fireworks were SPECTACULAR!!!!

Our flight was delayed, so in our spare few hours, you and I got our nails done together – how fun!! What a special treat – certainly a brand new adventure for you… you quietly took it all in – every once in a while shooting me a huge, surprised smile. As a bonus, Amy did a beautiful french braid on your hair… Life is so fun with you.

On our first day, we went to see “Orack Obama’s” house – “It’s White!”

Day 2, The Zoo
The NATIONAL ZOO! What a treat!!

Day 3 was the 4th of July!!
An amazing parade and some incredible fireworks

After the parade, we spent some time on the Mall

Finally, fireworks next to the Washington Monument

Day 4 – The final day
Our final rides of many Metro rides – this time to the Aquarium, and then an airplane ride home… Thanks God for a wonderful adventure!
