a forever sleepover

Marriage from the mouth my newlywed cousin Courtney. We had the wonderful chance to go up and stay with her and her husband who have been living just outside of Washington D.C. for the summer. It was a super quick but super fun weekend. I have been wanting to go there since, well forever basically and Parker kept asking me if it was everything I expected. Yep, it was. It was just like in the movies. Except for the reflecting pool (see below). Lots of cool history. My brain was on information overload by the end of the 1st day I'm pretty sure. We were able to pack in the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, a lot of war memorials, the Natural History Museum, the American History museum, a tour of Arlington cemetery, and lots of quality time with Nick and Court. And Parker getting a hot dog from a cart. 

so they had these really baby forks and it was hilarious. 

and courtney's broke wile she was eating one night. haha. 

Sunset!

Summer isn't summer without the beach! We were lucky enough to be able to get down there a couple weeks ago for a long weekend with some family. I love the beach. We got a ton of sun, and had fun playing with the munchkins. I let this cute one try out his photography skills. He made sure to capture everyone at their best :)

The kids captured a shrimp in the canal. Had to cut of his head to cook him...
