Spring Break In Maryland

For Spring Break this year we went to Maryland to see my Mom. It was alot of fun. Well, the ride up wasn't any fun. We decided to drive at night in hopes that Logan would sleep most of the way. Well, of course that did not work out. Logan cried and screamed for about 4 hours of the 8 hour trip up there. All that made him happy was to have a bottle, and I know all the books say not to give in at times like this, but I don't think that the people who write those books have ever been in the car with a screaming 10 month old for four hours. So We kept giving him bottle after bottle. We tried to wait two hours but he would just scream. So after four bottles and four and a half hours of screaming, he fell asleep almost all the way there. We got to Mom's house around 2 am Saturday morning. After unloading and getting Logan back to sleep. We went to bed at 4 in the morning. That Saturday we spent indoors because we were all so tired.


On Sunday, We went to Washington. It was so much fun. We rode the Metro into the city because it is really hard to find parking spots at the mall. We went to the Natural Museum of History. Here are some pictures of our Sunday in Washington.






Mom and Logan on the Metro.



Ernie, Mom, and Grant on the Metro.



Logan on the Metro. Mom learned quickly that Logan does not like to wear shoes. He kept kicking them off and she kept putting them back on. After the third time, she put his shoes in the basket under him. It was fun to watch.




This is a giant sloth!




That is the T-Rex. The yellow blur underneath it is Grant. The camera took a lot of blurry pictures and the batteries kept dying. And of course after this trip to Washington I left the camera in the van and didn't get anymore pictures. Sorry Kelly! :)



A dinosaur! (not sure which one)



The Woolly Mammoth!



We thought this was pretty cool. We tried to get Grant to stand next to it, but he wasn't in the mood to do a picture.




This is the church that the President attends.



The Washington Monument.




The Capital Building.

This is a picture of the Cherry Blossoms that bloom in Washington. I took this picture from my friend Danielle on Facebook. We didn't make it down to the Cherry Blossoms because it was too cold and it was late by the time we left the museum.


It was a really good visit. We spent alot of time with Mom and Ernie. I am a little sad we didn't get more pictures, but that my luck with cameras and I really don't know why we didn't use Mom's camera. But I promise next time we see them, which will be this summer at the beach.


Oh!!! Before I forget, Logan took his very first step at Mom's house. He walked three steps to me all by himself. He keeps trying to do it but he is now a little hesitant but he got a walking toy that he can push and walk with and he loves that. He giggles when he does that. Pictures of that to come.
