this beautiful city

We have truly enjoyed being here this summer, and we have seen so much! We will miss the free museums with wonderful history, the White House, the Capitol, the Supreme Court, the ward here, Mount Vernon, and so much more. We have been so amazed how much Liam loves the museums...Emma not so much, but she loves to be able to walk around, pushing the stroller, and/well keeping us on our toes. The kids have enjoyed our walks everywhere, as that is how we have traveled this entire summer, unless it was a weekend and Caleb drove us (I havent driven since we have been here, as it is frightening, and he has had the car!). We have been to the mall multiple times, playing at the indoor playground, and going to the outdoor mall with the fountains for kids to play in. So much fun! We have also enjoyed swimming in the pool!

Although we will always treasure the memories we have had here, and have had a great time, we all look forward to getting out of our hotel room!!!!! I cannot believe we made it, a mere 12 weeks, in this tiny space. Something we will always remember, but not sure that we ever want to do it again...we look forward to sleeping in our own beds, our own rooms, having a bit bigger kitchen with 4 stove top burners & oven.

Here is a picture of all of us right before we left for here, and when we get home you can see how much the kids have grown. See you soon!

We missed you and are glad you are coming back. It's good that you enjoyed your time there since you will be going back to live. Much better in an apartment or a house...
