Traveling as Two - Driving through Dover

Ok. We did drive through Dover, but I just liked the alliteration in the title.

Scout drove us from Sicklerville to Washington DC. I took a bunch of pics on the Bay Bridge. Most of them aren't great, but I'm going to share some of them anyway.

We stopped for dinner at a Chick-fil-A in the suburbs, then we drove the rest of the way into the city. Our hotel is about 15 minutes from most of the popular tourist spots.

There is some beautiful architecture here.

It will be fun to see more of the city tomorrow.

Traveling as Two - Blessing the Babies

We arrived back in New Jersey on Saturday, and the twins were blessed on Monday morning.  Twiz did such a great job even though his circle only consisted of 3 people. I'm sure my sweetie was there in spirit.

After church, we spent a quiet evening at Teach's home...except for Twizlet. She fell while she was riding her roller blades and broke her arm!

Here is a cute pic of her, but you can't see her arm. These are after she got her hard cast.

We had a nice, quiet downtime here. On Monday, Teach and Twiz brought out all the baby quilts so they could identify the makers. We got a little silly.

Teach took pics of all the quilts and we also made a little video about each one.

I made these two bunny quilts when I was just a kid.

I have done SO much baby-holding! 

I guess Twinzee2 wanted to share her first laugh with me too. It's just a little one.

Such beautiful babies.

Traveling as Two - Back in New Jersey

Saturday was a traveling day. We got up pretty early and checked out of the hotel. After we paid the somewhat ridiculous fee to get Teach's car out of the parking garage, we stopped back at the hotel to pick up our luggage. We had done everything I wanted to do except try a New York slice. So I asked the doorman were to get good pizza. He recommended Ray's. 

Scout struggled a bit to drive and eat one at the same time. I kept trying to convince her to fold it...

We got back to Teach's house without incident. Then we ate dinner and played a game.

But mostly, we held babies.

I even got Twinzee1 to laugh for the very first time!

Good times.

Traveling as Two - Lady Liberty

We had such a busy day today! Can I first just say that both Scout and I are still on Utah time? We were up late and then we had to leave before 9:30 to get to our half-day bus tour.

I know I usually stay away from these, but the heel broke on one of Scout's boots and she ended up with blisters, making it hard for her to walk terribly far.

Honestly though, we had an amazing tour guide and I learned so much about the area! Ok, photo bomb.

The 9/11 Memorials were beautiful and heart-wrenching. Even our guide had a personal story.

Sorry, we were facing the sun in this one.

Then we were on a dinner cruise. The music was so loud! The food was good.

Then they invited us on deck and scout took all these. Such an amazing view of the Statue of Liberty!

Such a great day.
