(A week ago) Thursday was the big day! The RR reunion dinner! But first we did a little sightseeing...
 |
| Zoya and Mila B - We met them getting off the elevator and of course had to stop and say hi. :) |
 |
After walking around the day before, we did a "open top" bus tour on Thursday
Brian with Ruby and Lilya, and Braden in front |
 |
| I stood up to take a picture and the speaker comes on and says to remain seated at all times... so here's Michelle signing "SIT" at me. ;) |
 |
| LOVE this picture! |
 |
| Michelle, Dax, and I - Daxy loved the Ergo! |
 |
| Love this girl! She's so photogenic! |
 |
| We got a tour of all the embassies - I definitely appreciate them all more now that I know what they're for and we had to use the American one in Ukraine. :) We didn't see the Ukrainian one though... |
 |
| We did see this awesome Ukrainian colors/Ds Awareness colors house though! |
 |
| I thought this building was pretty awesome too... it's only as wide as that end, but it probably is a triangular shape. If I remember right, this was in Georgetown. |
 |
| On the bus we rode... this was when we switched buses. |
 |
| We saw a sign for "Wisconsin Style Barber" or something like that and we wondering why we, being from Wisconsin, didn't know we had our own hair style! It made a little more sense when we saw what road we were on. :) |
 |
| Abraham Lincoln Memorial |
 |
| Braden's squinty face.. :) |
 |
| Better view from the bus than yesterday! |
 |
| I am absolutely in love with this picture! So mad at myself for not entering a architectural entry for Photography at the Country Fair this year! |
 |
| Ford's Theater, where William Booth shot Lincoln |
 |
| On the subway on the way back to the hotel... |
 |
| LOL She was soo done with pictures.. love her sassy spunk! |
 |
| It was HOT, so we headed to the pool, along with everyone else. I got to swim with Bellie Bug (absolutely adore her!!), so of course I didn't take any pictures besides this one of Summer and Bellie. |
 |
| At dinner! Lilya and I |
 |
| Braden and Owen Roberts, Reece's brother |
 |
| Charlotte and Kelly Dirkes! |
 |
| Bellie and I! - I got lucky enough to be the one to hold her and feed her the whole time... boy, does she love her mashed potatoes, and boy, do I love her!! ♥ |
 |
Back at the hotel - Michelle and her friend Chrystal with their babies, Dax and Dez. Which baby belongs to which mama? Hmm... ;) Dax (left) is 6 mo, and Dez (right) is 3 mo old, and Dez is bigger. Michelle was in love with his hair. :) |
 |
| Caleb in his toga/poncho!! hehe |
 |
| After swimming, we all went back to one of Lococo's room's to chat/hang out, and after awhile it was just Elizabeth, Caleb, Josh, me, and Nick (Bellie's Big Brother) left... and this would be Nick with his cheese nips. Glowing cheese nips.. I forget what they were called. Ahem. There might be a reason I cropped the clock out of this picture. :P |
And thus concludes my recap of another amazing day in our nation's capital which was full of special people rockin' that extra chromosome. ♥
Boy does Bellie LOVE YOU!!! I have to be honest the last picture frightens me a bit. :)
ReplyDeleteMiss YOU!!!!!!!
Dax needs to grow some hair! and Ruby is really so photogenic!!! Looks like lots of great sight seeing!
ReplyDeleteI think around 1 AM they were called "Cheeze Nips of GOD!" haha. The best part was Michelle raving about Dez's hair and Chrystal raving about Dax's soft hands. Chrystal: My baby has construction worker hands! He has callouses!
ReplyDeleteThe WI barber comment cracked me up. Who knew we had our hairstyle!? :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you came with us! We miss you :)
