while branden was on paternity leave and henrietta and i were hitting 3 weeks post-birth, we hit the road and made a quick trip to DC and a few surrounding things. we stayed with my uncle steve and aunt kathy and as always-were blown over by their generosity and kindness. the heat was unbearable, so we ended up spending quite a bit of time in the air conditioned car. both kids were champs in the car-something i was actually surprised about since they have so little experience in them. after hitting pu horrendous traffic on our way down, we hit up mount vernon and then day 2 of our trip we drove around downtown and visiting the national cemetary. i think my brain is slightly jumbled on the timeline of things. i blame it on the post-partum fog of hormones and lack of sleep.

| this picture was taken from our car. ha! |
 |
| taken in the 30 minutes we lasted at the cemetary. it was hot and miserable and we only ended up being there for 30 minutes or less. poor hugo had a meltdown. which resulted in mom and dad being close to a meltdown as well. killer heat. |
 |
| i wish i had something patriotic to add here about what a special feeling the place had. the place did have a special feeling. but i think we were all so close to tears from the heat that the feeling was lost on us. we'll have to make a trip back to redeem ourselves. |
 |
| another photo from the car! (yup. we were really just happy to drive around) |
 |
| putting on a happy face for the camera (hugo-not so much.) |
 |
| picture from the car! again. branden and i did discuss how gorgeous DC is. those buildings really do inspire and create a sense of awe about our country and government. |
