DC trip - day 3

This morning we had a slow start. We walked to a neighborhood coffee shop, dolce vita. The coffee was amazing. We shared some scones and muffins. Yum. Then we headed to union station to take a tour with the DC ducks. Isabella loves the metro train. She also Loved the duck. They are WWII carriers that can go on land and water. Our captain gave us an informational and fun tour around the major DC sites. Then the duck drives right into the Potomac and you get to see more if DC but by way of water. Isabella thought this was soooo cool. Robert and I agreed. They give you quackers to quack back to union station. Pictures and video of that coming soon. :). Then we headed to the air and space museum. Totally cool. The planes, spaceships, rockets. We were all amazed. We met up with my sweet friend Carolyn for dinner. Bit was good food and great conversation. We are loving this city.

DC trip- day two

We walked over to Kramerbooks & Afterwords for Sunday brunch. It was quite tasty and just what we needed to gear up for a day at the national zoo. After filling our tummies, we headed for isabellas train (the metro). The national zoo is huge.  It's also free!  We saw many different kinds of animals. A first for all three of us was the panda bear. He was munching on 30lbs of bamboo. Isabella picked up the word panda super easy and the wore it out. If the poor guy didn't know he was a panda before we came- he definitely knows now. We headed for the lions and tigers, isabellas favorites. The walkways were beautiful. The troop of guerillas was impressive.  We also enjoyed the air conditioned animal houses. It's amazing what we can learn from our animal friends. After the zoo, we took a walk through Woodley Park. Isabella thought the stream was cool.  Robert and I got a nice work out.  Feel free to compliment the tone in our calf muscles.  We stopped for a drink break and headed back to the motel for naps. More to come soon....,

Day one - DC Trip 2011

After driving, flying and driving we made it to dc. Isabella did great. She loved riding the bus shuttle at the airport. She thought it was so cool that they gave us cookies with daddy's letter while we were on the plane (Lorna Doones). We checked in and had a nice lunch at a neighborhood Italian cafe. Robert figured out the metro and then we hoofed it to the white house! It's really huge. We then headed to the museum of American history. We did two of the three floors- not bad for and afternoon.
