We headed back to Virginia for Thanksgiving again this year. The kids did so great on the 5 hour plane ride across country all thanks to the iPad!
We spent Thanksgiving night at the Bahrami's again.
On Friday we took the kids to the Natural History Museum in DC. Caiden was in a bit of a funk the entire time because he wanted to go to the pool and play air hockey at the community area in Fery & Osi's complex but Grace loved it. Every single thing we went by she had the sound of excitement in her voice saying, "Mommy, look at this!". EXCEPT, for the dinosaur exhibit. She did not want to go near them and made us hold her and she buried her head in our shirt the entire time.
Friday night we went to Farhad and Jill's house for their annual get together. It's always a great time, complete with fireworks!
On Saturday we went to Great Falls Park, just 15 minutes from Fery and Osi's house. It was our first time going and it was beautiful. There are a number of trails that run along the Potomac River and watching the kayakers on the falls is breathtaking.
Saturday night we went out to dinner with Sule and Katie to a Brazilian Steakhouse. When we left at 11pm we were all so full of food we had to walk around so we went to the National Mall. We walked from the Washington Monument past the WW II memorial, reflecting pool to the Lincoln Memorial, two-miles round trip. I'd say the midnight stroll was a good choice after that meal.
We stayed super busy the entire time and the kids had fun. The first thing Caiden asked for when he woke up was if he could play air hockey and go to the pool, unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of this even though we did it every day. It was a great Thanksgiving break!
