My first Trip to Washington DC!

this was such a Zweet weekend. On friday night, daddie got out of work around 7pm and we left for Harrisburg Pennsylvania to meet grandma and grandpa black. we got in at midnight and it was so good to see them! i got to play with them in the morning before we got back in the car to go to washington dc for uncle jason's brother's wedding!

before going all the way into D.C., we stopped at uncle jason's parents house in potomac to see everyone and then we made our way to the army navy club which was 2 blocks away from the white house. i was gitty the whole ride in to D.C. and couldn't believe i was going to meet Obama! so, after checking into the hotel, we met up with grandma and grandpa black and aunt leah and were off to explore D.C. and meet the president. we had plans to see the white house, the mall, capitol hill, and more! as soon as we started walking it began to rain. when i say rain, i mean like little droplets of water falling from the sky. i loved it! i loved how it felt on my skin. it was a light drizzle so grandpa black, daddie, mommie and i continued on our adventures and boy was it an adventure.

we walked for over 2 hours in the rain, as it turned from a drizz to a pour to sheetZ blowing at us. then came thunder and lightning. it was incredible and we walked around the mall, saw lots of huge buildings and achieved craziness level 7! we were so wet! daddie moved me from the bjorn to the stroller so i was pretty dry but i couldn't believe how wet everyone else was!

when we got home, mommie and daddie got ready for the wedding. i had two babysitters - aunt leah's close friends nancy and her hub hub brent. i had so much fun with them. they read me books, sang me songs, and then put me down to sleep in the bathroom. they are not crazy people....they put me in the bathroom because daddie is crazy. he put my crib in there because he thought i'd sleep better where there was less sound and light. HE WAS RIGHT! the bathroom sleeping arrangements were awesome! i was so happy that mommie and daddie hada babysitter so that they could dance all night long! i heard in the morning that they danced their faces off. they said the wedding was so much fun. the next morning we left early so daddie could get to work. we stopped at a SheetZ's - ask daddie how to say it and he'll say SHeeeeeeeeetz. we got home at 4pm so daddie could work from 5pm to 7am! he was tired and slept a lot of the car ride and he has to work every day this week from 5pm to 7am. yuck! the weekend was great! and i'm still eating lots of different foods and loving it! nom nom nom.
