A few weekends ago we decided to take a trip down to Washington D.C. to visit Aunt Shay Baby! For those of you who don't know, Shay graduated from Appalachian State University in May with her Master's Degree in College Student Development and has moved to Arlington VA to work in the Office of Housing and Residence Life at Marymount University.We had a great weekend visiting with Aunt Shay Baby. She has a HUGE two bedroom apartment on campus at Marymount and we got to spend some time walking around the campus, checking out her office and even eating breakfast in the dining hall! Needless to say, eating at the dining hall was one of the highlights of the weekend for Chuck.
After driving down on Friday, we went to Arlington National Cemetery and then to eat at Uncle Julio's in Arlington. Saturday we got up bright and early, and after having a delicious breakfast at the dining hall, we headed into DC on the metro. We walked around the monuments and National Mall area all morning before stopping at the Museum of American History for some lunch and much needed air conditioning! After lunch we headed to the Capitol, Ford's Theater and the White House before ending our day in Georgetown for a yummy dinner. Needless to say, we were all exhausted by the time we got back to Shay's apartment.
We were very sad to leave Aunt Shay Baby on Sunday but we are happy that she is within driving distance of us now! We can't wait to see her again soon! Here are some more pictures from the weekend, some with people in them and some just of the sights.
