We started off this month with a big trip up to Washington, D.C. for my dad's funeral. It was a very beautiful and moving service at Arlington National Cemetery and we are very thankful that we now feel he is at rest and at peace.
As part of our trip, we were able to spend some time with Todd's family as well. We had not been up to northern VA in several years, and we ended up staying for about a week and a half.
We started off our trip by heading out to Nags Head to vacation with Todd's family for a few days. They rented a great house right across from the beach and it had a pool which B loved.
We also rented a Jeep one day and went to Currituck where you can drive on the beach and see all the wild horses. B really enjoyed the drive and being able to face forward and see everything was a big deal!
We also found a little park that they have built out there kind of in the middle of nowhere, but it is really nice place to take a break and has bathrooms, picnic tables and water views!
We tired him out...this kid NEVER falls asleep in the car so you know he was exhausted.
All of the Potters on the beach
Once we got back to Woodbridge, we had to make a trip to Hooters "for the wings".
We also met up with my sister and her family and took all the kids to the National Zoo.
Chase was able to name all the animals!
"Driving" granddad's boat...he is now obsessed with driving anything...golf cart, boat, car, etc. He will say "i drive! i drive!"
dinner at Tim's River Shore
Once we got back home, we had B's friend Addy over to play one afternoon.
And we had a BBQ with a bunch of our friends and their kids
The kids had a blast playing with ice all afternoon
Another new favorite activity/obsession...trying on everyone's shoes! This usually keeps him occupied while I am getting ready and he will even put them on and say "so cute so cute" haha
Playing at the park in our neighborhood while Nana was here for a visit.
Loves hats...and we still REALLY need to get the house painted...hopefully working on that next month!
big eater these days...ended up polishing off this whole sandwich plus a bunch of other stuff.
Wherever you try and hide your "pad" this kid will find it.
More "driving!"
B has also been "helping" me study...I am finally in my last year of grad school and SO ready to be done!
