The weather is finally cool enough (actually cold in the mornings) to finally be out during the day and do things, like go to the park, take walks, etc. So, I had planned to be outside this weekend. What have we done? Absolutely nothing. DJ made it two whole weeks in school before he picked up a bug. It's just a cold and doesn't seem to be bothering him much at all, but it's annoying. So its a weekend of relaxation and lots of cuddles.
Last week, my best friend flew out from Tacoma to visit. It was a short trip, but good to spend time with her. The weather had been cooling off, but for some reason, her first day here, we had a freak summer day 93+ degrees with 60% humidity. Yuck. It cooled off significantly the rest of the week.
Monday, DJ went home with his best friend from school, and Jess and I took the Metro into DC. We visited the National Museum of Crime and Punishment. It was totally worth the money and I can't even begin to tell you how nice it was to be able to walk through at my own pace, without worrying about what DJ was touching, how loud he was being, etc. It's been a very long time. DJ had a blast playing with his friend all day, so it was great all around. I have to say, though, it seems so weird to me that DJ is even old enough to go home with a friend after school. Where does the time go?
Tuesday, the three of us hopped back on the Metro (basically, the subway) and went to the National Zoo in Washington DC. It is an amazing, gigantic zoo and because it's run by the Smithsonian, its totally FREE! We had a great day walking around the zoo, seeing all the animals, taking lots of pictures. My friend is a photography fanatic, so she took a lot of pics.
Wednesday, DJ had school in the morning and we just relaxed and she packed. We took her to the airport on Thursday morning and here we are at Saturday evening.
I have a lot of pics, but DJ is telling me he is "so so so soooooo hungry", so I must go make dinner. I will post pictures later.
