We had a wonderful time in Washington, DC this past weekend. My sister Susan's husband works there during the week and we took her so that she could visit for the week. We walked around the monuments on Friday, met Carli's friend Rachel for dinner that evening, and the only ones complaining were the adults! Grace never once cried the entire weekend. She is such a trooper!!

Saturday we walked the streets of Georgetown, had a great lunch and were really tired until we finally got back to the hotel.

Sunday we visited Amani Au Ju which is a store that sells items made by women in Nairobi that are learning the sewing trade. Many of these women are single and raising families, and are refugees from places like Rowanda. We had visited the Nairobi store when we were in Africa. Such a neat place, and you now that your purchases are really helping to change lives.

Then we walked around old town Alexandria. Very beautiful and could be a great place to shop. Will have to go back with either girlfriends or daughters...husbands who don't shop are not very much fun!

It was an absolutely beautiful weekend...the weather couldn't have been better...Grace was the perfect baby...and it was nice to be away without an agenda.
