Our Nation's Capital

Actually, Kiran & I only drove through our nation's capital twice and did not spend any time there. We spent our time in Northern Virginia enjoying Brett & Merritt's new home and life. We didn't really do any touristy things but I figured that was ok since Kiran probably wouldn't remember it anyway. We shopped and took Kiran to the Tot Lot. I met my first federal judge and spent the afternoon with a bunch of hard core conservative DC lawyers. (I actually enjoyed myself- Brett- don't worry.)

Kiran & I did head out to Old Town Alexandria while Brett & Merritt had to work on Monday.

Old Town Alexandria was cute and quaint and all that jazz. We played at the waterfront park for a while and shopped up and down King Street.


I really enjoyed being a tourist in my own country. So much less stressful!

Kiran did great on the flights except she would scream bloody murder and stiffen her body when I tried to put her in her stroller. Lovely Kiran. But other than that, she did great. The flight up was easier because she got her own seat and loved that. Our flight home was entirely full so we had to share which was um crowded. I found people to be very helpful when you are pregnant and traveling alone with a toddler. Bless you people. I had many people offer to carry things or get doors but the ones who helped the most were the ones who complimented Kiran on her behavior, the ones who made me relax, the ones who shared stories of their kids and let me know that we weren't bothering them.

Thank you Brett & Merritt for hosting us! We really enjoyed our trip and your home is beautiful. We vote for our next trip with you guys to be to New Mexico!
