This weekend, we took a trip to Washington, D.C. We stayed in the Rouge hotel with Allison, who was in D.C. for work. We are very grateful that Allison allowed us to stay with her in her hotel room. (FREE!) It is about a 4 1/2 hour drive from Durham to D.C., and we did get stuck in traffic and got lost a couple of times. But we had our trusty GPS system with us that helped us find our way. Traffic and navigational issues aside, we had a great time on our trip! We walked approximately 37 miles during our trip, but got to see a lot of great things along the way. We visited all the major attractions in D.C., including; the U.S. Capitol, the White House, the Lincoln Memorial, Arlington National Cemetery, the Roosevelt Memorial, WWII Memorial, etc. We also attended a Nationals game vs. the hated Baltimore Orioles in the brand new Nationals Park. It was great to see a game in the beautiful new stadium, but in the sixth inning there was a down pour, the game was delayed, and we left shortly there after. Kayla and I are beginning to wonder if the rain follows us everywhere we go! The final score ended up being 8-1 in favor of the O's, so luckily we didn't miss a great comeback or anything. Maddox behaved very well on the trip, at least well for Maddox. He was a trooper and never complained, but he really didn't have a lot to complain about since he was pushed around in his stroller the whole time. Oh the life of a two year old!

Hope everyone has a happy 4th of July!
