Granny's here!

Granny landed in Alexandria today! The boys and I picked her up from the airport and headed to lunch. Ethan made a liar out of me at lunch today. For the past four years my mother has heard me complain how my kids don't eat. We went to a a really neat Chinese restaurant. Ethan ate an entire adult honey chicken meal and part of Granny's sesame chicken. Tonight for dinner he also finished his grilled cheese and some fries.
We headed down to the cherry blossoms tonight. We were afraid that the blossoms would be gone. They were not like they were last week, but many of the blossoms were still intact. We walked to Jefferson and mom and I went into the monument. While we were at the top, Nate kept pointing to Washington Monument and it appeared that he wanted us to take a picture. We did....and he kept pointing...so we kept taking pictures. When we got to the bottom, he showed us that he was pointing to the White House. We never saw it. There was a great shot, however.
The cherry blossoms were so pretty under the sunlight.
After we left the cherry blossoms, we drove down the length of the mall and up to the Capitol. We were able to stop at a couple spots so she could take some pictures. By this time, Lincoln was asking for his apple. Ethan was ready to go eat...and we were getting hungry! We are definitely going to have to make it back down this way tomorrow night. I don't think any of us realized how much we wanted to show her!

I was hoping this picture would show you the HUGE knot on his noggin! He fell as soon as we got home this afternoon. He is giving you his "look!" Daddy loves it when he does this!
