You know, I wasn’t even sure whether I should blog about this or not. Everyone who reads the blog was on the vacation! (Except possibly Ant.)
So, we got the parents together with us and the Young Master for some hopefully quality time in Washington DC and Tysons. Ha ha. I can always find quality time at Tysons. Anyway, temperatures were pretty blistering hot, so we didn’t get to do as much as we’d planned (e.g., the zoo, although I’m not even sure if the zoo opens on the really hot days for the sake of the animals).
We had a Kennedy Center brunch, one museum day, a private tour of DC and monuments one evening, a dinner cruise on the Spirit of Washington’s Odyssey. These are the things we managed while staying in Georgetown. I also bought a pair of Fluevog Givers, but ended up returning them because there was a long blue ink mark on them!
Thanks to Mom and Dad for emailing all those pictures. Unfortunately all the ones Dad sent are crazy-blurry, so I am unable to use them.
After the DC portion of the trip, we moved out to Tysons for a week. Most of our activity during this time was (a) mall trips and (b) looking at apartments. We needed to stay cool! We looked at Adaire (nice but the feeling was very cold, clinical, Scandinavian, which is not our style), and The Lofts at Park Crest (which was my #1 choice as far as atmosphere), and BLVD Reston (ultimately won because of location near a metro). However, we are sternly debating whether we want to live in that area again because of the summer heat. Right now we are investigating New England.
Thanks to everyone who went, and I hope you all enjoyed it!
All of the pictures you posted were taken by Dad. They don’t look crazy blurry to me.
Pfft. I didn’t blog the crazy blurry ones! But I will. The ones I am thinking of are from the night of the tour.
