Belated Washington, DC Pictures

I'm finally uploading a couple pictures from our trip to Washington, DC at the end of December, 2009. Isaac and I spent a couple days there together. It was so nice to have some good time together without all the craziness of the holiday season. It was quite cold during our trip, so we're all bundled up. This picture was taken on New Year's Eve outside the White House. We'd been sight seeing most of the day, and the rain held off till after we took this picture.


At the end of the trip, Kathleen and her fiance Scott joined us for our last day in DC. It was great to spend some time with them too. And we got to celebrate their engagement at the Old Ebbitt Grill in downtown DC, 2 blocks from the White House (also right down the street from our hotel).


The star of the DC trip was definitely Tai Shan, the baby panda born at the National Zoo about 5 years ago. Isaac knows how much I love pandas and so we went back to visit the pandas again. Tai Shan is going back to China shortly since the US has an agreement with China to return any pandas born in the US. so of course we had to say goodbye! We got to see Tai Shaun and his mom and dad a lot this day--probably over an hour of viewing time.


(I managed to get out of the gift shop with only a panda ornament, although my sweet husband was prepared to indulge me with more goodies.)

And I'll wrap up the blog with a great picture of my handsome hubby. This was taken at the American History Museum. What a fabulous time we had... and baby also got to go on his first trip to DC--even though I'm not sure he'll remember it! ; )

Happy Monday all!
