1600 Pennsylvania Avenue

Yes, it is true, Ella and I went to visit the Obamas... no, not really.  We went to visit cute Maryann, Taylor, Hailey, and Dain.  Maryann and I have been bestfriends since the 2nd grade when she moved in across the street.  To make a long story short, Maryann and I decided on my Birthday that I needed to come and see her.  A week later, I received an email showing me incredible deals for one way airfares.  I couldn't let this pass by.  So, on a whim, I bought a ticket for Washington D.C.  Ella and I were headed to see the wonderful Hansen family.  Brennan had to stay and work... or he would have come.

Maryann and I had such a fun time.  We saw many fun things and stayed very busy with the 3 girls.  It was a site to see 2 adult women and 3 tiny girls jammed in the back of Maryann's 4Runner.  I think Ella had quite an interesting time getting used to 2 new "sisters." She had her good moments and her not so great moments.  Overall, we both had a really great time.

Having 3 kids under the age of 3, we were able to see a lot of Washington D.C., but not everything.  Here are some pictures, see if you can figure out where we are: 















Thank you, Hansen family! I loved being there with you and getting my "personal tour" of Washington D.C.  You were so kind to let us stay with you, eat your food, and take up all your gas looking for parking.
