easter visitors

Well, Easter was over a week ago and I'm still working on our recap. Better late than never. {?}

We were lucky and had some good friends come in from out of town to visit. Asher loves having people over - especially the kind that give him lots and lots of attention. :-)

Drew and I have a kind of fun, unique shared experience in that our college roommates ended up marrying each other! We were all friends at Bucknell and now we get an easy way to visit together almost 10 years later {whoa - forget I typed that date...}

Welcome to DC, Bret and Betsy!

On Saturday we all headed into town to visit the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum.

Everyone who reads this blog knows how much Asher loves planes, so I thought seeing them up close would be a slam dunk. He liked it well enough, but wasn't quite as excited as I'd expected. Maybe because they weren't flying around?

Oh well - you can't win 'em all. :-)

Asher favorite part of the whole day was riding the carousel on the Mall. Of course I didn't get a photo of that. sigh.

Lucky us, I did get some shots at his second favorite stop - the fountain!

It took all 3 of us adults to keep him from jumping over the very shallow lip and into the water.

We all celebrated Easter Sunday together the next morning and had a yummy ham lunch. I don't know about you, but Easter just isn't Easter without ham. ha!

So great to see you, B&B. Let's make it less than a year between visits next time!
