Weekend With the Waites

Not having my own camera this weekend was irritating.  We could not find a camera in stock in any of the stores we went to.  These photos all came from Tosh's phone.  I will share more from Kiley's collection later.  

This weekend we had visitors.  Tosh's sister and our new brother-in-law came to visit.  We had a great time!

Saturday we went to Georgetown.  We found the cutest toy store.  I am so excited to go back and get Finn some  birthday gifts before we leave.   For now, Finn got a new pair of shades and a school bus...

 After walking around Georgetown, we headed off to see the monuments.  Tosh had not seen any of these yet. I had seen a good portion of them, but it was exciting to see them with Tosh, Kiley, and James.  Here is the Vietnam Wall Memorial...

 Finn was pretty excited about the Lincoln Memorial. He was so excited he got tripped up and fell.  He stood right up and looked out and saw the Capitol.  He didn't cry he just said, "the Capitol!"  

Here is the walk towards the Jefferson Memorial...

 Tosh calculated our mileage for Saturday.  Are you ready for the grand total of miles walked?

We estimate we walked 18 miles on Saturday.

Now that James is officially part of the family, he officially gets Finn duty. This included carrying him or pushing a stroller as needed...

Sunday we did some more walking.  We went into DC again to go to Eastern Market.   The entire time we were there, all I could think was "I love this city. I love this city."

Here is the indoor market full of meat, meat, meat, produce, etc.

The beautiful flowers...

 There was an outdoor market with what seemed like hundreds of vendors.  My sister-in law and I got some matching jewelry.   There were several artists selling amazing paintings and photographs. I wanted to buy basically everything I saw.

Here we are on our walk to the Capitol. It was beautiful...

 The newlyweds at the Capitol...

 You cannot tell in this photo, but we had both put on our new Jimmy Mann necklaces! Who is Jimmy Mann? He is the vendor who makes the necklaces.  Several of the other vendors commented on my "Jimmy Mann necklace."  So maybe there is more to this Jimmy Mann than I know...

 Taking a break from our walkathon...

 These two...

 and Finn and me...

                                    

Bahah!! Unfortunately, the photo was taken too quickly and you didn't get to see my knees actually bend and my crazy high jump. Oh well, maybe next time.

 We took a walk through the botanical gardens. It was lovely...

 We stopped in at this awesome area.  Finn got to put his stinky little feet in the water...

Finn really enjoyed getting to spend time with his aunt and uncle.  We all had a great time.
