day one! dc!

We just got back from Washington DC! What a trip! 5 hours on a plane with a 16 month old? Totally doable. In fact - best baby on the whole flight (and there were a few!). That said, I wouldn't make it a weekly activity or anything...

We got to DC on Thursday night and Auntie Sam picked us up from the airport and took us back to her ADORABLE neighborhood and to Spike's restaurant(s) for dinner. Oh Top Chef. It was delish!

Our first full day in DC was spent at the zoo. The zoo is owned by the Smithsonian so it's free. Free! There's so much to do in DC that is free. Like ALL the museums and monuments. It's wonderful.





Anyway - the zoo. We traveled by metro to the zoo and met up with Laura at the gorillas. Ended the day at the zoo with some fro yo and then off to the Nats game with some of Sam's friends!

The game had post-show fireworks and Ruby was all over them. By all over them I mean intrigued to the point of stillness. And when it was all said and done, she pointed to the sky where they were shooting off and asked via sign language "please?" Breaks my heart. So cute.
