DC Part I

I am a month behind on blogs... so here goes the Jones Family update!
Last year we had a great time in the Outer Banks, so we were excited to go back. Kevin and I decided to fly into Washington D.C. and visit some old friends from Burbank, the Jenkins.
We had an uneventful flight, no drama and no poopy diapers on the airplane.
The first day we rented bikes and toured all the sights. We enjoyed the Smithsonian Museums. We went to the Natural History and American History Museums. Aside from all the middle school kids running around, it was fun to see everything.
Hannah was mad we made her wear tennis shoes with a twirly skirt
At the American History Museum the kids helped make the "Star Spangled Banner." Gavin made sure his star was perfectly laid out.
The kids were excited to see "Barak Obama's House."
The Washington Monument and the World War II Memorial.
Kevin and Hannah at the Lincoln Memorial.
The next day Kevin went back to Washington DC and I stayed at the Jenkins' house to hang out with Anie and let the kids play with each other. Hannah liked to pick out Madi's clothes and she treid to find outfits that matched her own.

We fed the ducks,

went to Barnes and Nobel, and took naps.
*Madi is Gavin's new girlfriend
That night Kevin, Gavin, and Spencer went to a Baltimore Orioles game. Anie and I planned a girls night, but we were both too tired to do anything and ended up chatting all night instead. Our trip to the Outer Banks is next!

Looks like a fun little trip! And I love that how Hannah already understands that tennis shoes and skirts don't mix well together :)... Ahh, now that your not in our ward you have to post more frequently so we know what is going on in the Jones world! :)

OK- I totally thought that post was going to have DC AND Outer Banks in it. Guess I'll have to wait! We're SO glad you guys came to visit. It was fun hanging out and getting caught up! We miss you guys! Did I mention I'm DYING to hear an update on the new place?!?!? I know you've been busy though, so I'll try to be patient! :)
