Last week my mother visited us for a whole week (yeah!) and we had a lot of fun.



She went with us to Jayson's swim class and we did some touristy stuff. Aidan (of course) got sick just in time for her to come so she rode the Metro all by herself to see the museums at the National Mall. She didn't get lost at all, which is more than I can say for our overnight stay to Manhattan. Jay came home on Saturday morning from Oakland so my mom and I left the boys with him and rode the Chinatown bus up. The Subway system is rather more complex than the DC Metro, but wqe made it alive and even got some great shopping in! My mom can shop like no one else I know. It's a talent.




On her last day here we all went to Old Town Alexandria then to Arlington Cemetery where it was freezing then dropped her off at the airport and went sadly home. Three days later as we were eating dinner, Jayson looked around and said "oh, where's Grandma!?" We reminded him that we had dropped her at the airport a few days earlier and he thought about it then said, "oh, with Grandpa. That's fun. It's fun at Grandpa's house...I want to go there!"
