Marshall and I joined Allison a few weekends ago to see Meagan and Tatum in Warrenton, Virginia. We left on Thursday afternoon and Marshall did really well on the plane. I was so nervous that he would disturb everyone on the plane with his loud whining, but luckily he didn't. He slept for a bit and then we just kept him entertained with books and movies and food. We got to DC around 8:00 but didn't get to Meagan's house until almost 11:00 because we got stuck in traffic. Meagan was a wonderful host with rooms all ready for both Allison and myself and Marshall. We got up the next morning, got ready, and drove into DC for lunch at a great mexican restaurant. Funny that we went to a mexican restaurant since we are from Texas, but it was really good. Afterwards we headed over to the National Zoo. It was a bit chilly but nothing a few layers of clothing couldn't solve. The coolest thing at the zoo for me were the panda bears and the small mammal house. The kids seemed to really enjoy themselves, especially since they both fell asleep on the way home. The next day we headed back into DC to go to the Smithsonian American History Museum. It was a great museum with awesome exhibits and I definitely can't wait to go back and visit other Smithsonian museums. Brian, Meagan's husband, picked the kids up around 3:00 and took them home, played, fed them, bathed them, and put them to bed . . . what an awesome and brave thing he did and we really appreciated it. We took advantage of the kid free time to visit some monuments and have a nice dinner with dessert and everything. The next day we drove into Fairfax to visit the mall and get Meagan some maternity clothes and Tatum some birthday presents. When we got back Tatum opened her dress up clothes we got her and I think Marshall liked them more but eventually both of them were running around the house in high heeled shoes. We were very sad to leave but it was nice to get back home to some warm weather and see Nick and the puppies.
The Panda bear was the coolest thing!!

It looks like Marshall stole Tatum's red Snow White shoes and she is MAD!!
