Really? That was the most interesting part?


First of all Justin's parents came for the weekend a couple of weekends ago. It was great to see them! Unfortunately, Easton wasn't feeling well, so he was irritable the whole time, so I don't know how much they really could enjoy him.

Yesterday, we took him to a small zoo near us and here are a few of the highlights:

We thought this sleeping porcupine was so cute!

This jaguar was so gorgeous and they had a black one that was beautiful too, but he didn't show up in pictures.
We had fun although it was frustrating that Easton enjoyed the playground and the Prairie Dog Hole (pictured below) much more then the animals! There 's nothing like paying $24 to watch your kid play on the playground! Oh well! The animals were interesting to me and Justin at least!

That was so 4 weeks ago


I'm a little behind on blogging. We took a day trip to DC about 4 weeks ago and I never posted about it, so here are the highlights.
First, we went to the National Zoo. So nice because it's free and we got street parking as opposed to around a $50 zoo trip in Philly for the three of us.
Next we went to Ford's Theater where President Lincoln was shot. It was very nice on the inside and they still show plays there. The picture below shows the box where Lincoln was shot.
We learned a lot of facts about the night Lincoln was shot and I found the tour very interesting.

Lincoln was actually taken to the house across the street from the theater after he was shot. We couldn't go in because it was closed for repairs.
We went to a Nationals game and had a good time. On our way to the game we actually saw a "Shake Shack" which was one of our favorite places to eat when we lived near NYC a few years ago. Burgers and cheese fries. Delicious!
Justin and Easton enjoying the game!
