We packed our bags and headed to Washington D.C. for our first family vacation. Being able to spend an entire week with Kayla and Kent was definitely the best part of this vacation for me! As a working mom, I usually only have the weekend and a couple hours every evening to play with Kayla so being able to to spend an entire week with her was wonderful. She even turned into a Mommy's girl during the trip which made me happy :)
I was a little nervous about getting through security and sitting on a plane for 3 hours with a little one but that was a breeze compared to installing the rented car seat into our rental car. Let's just say we'll be bringing our own for now on!
Once we had the car seat issue straightened out, we headed straight to Ethan and Debbie's house - our kind and generous hosts for the night. We enjoyed catching up with them over a great dinner before heading back to their place to put Kayla to bed. The next morning we loaded the car and headed out to meet Mo for brunch before driving south to Williamsburg to meet up with Gigi and Gramps.

So, there was a heat wave while we were here...don't worry, I put lots of sun screen on her!
After spending the day walking through this historic town we headed back to the big city to see some of the sites...

Kayla with LincolnThursday evening we headed over to Katie and Rich's house to catch up with family. We had a great time seeing everyone...too bad we don't live closer so we can visit more often!!!

With Pam and RuthFriday came before we knew it and that meant it was time to fly home. While we all enjoyed the trip (other than the heat wave), it was nice to be back home and sleep in our own beds again!
Enjoying the snacks on the flight home...Huge thanks to Gigi and Gramps for joining us on this trip and helping with Kayla!!!
