d.c. trip

maya & i took our first trip (out of womb) together! & we had a blast.

it was kindof a crazy weekend for our family. i had a wedding in d.c.. bryan had a tournament in colorado- not just any tournament, regionals. so finn wasn't going to be able to go with him. so finn had his first sleep over! he stayed with our friends jenn & chad. jenn watches finn a couple days a week so she was the perfect person to help, so glad she was up for it!

*this weekend proved that we have some awesome friendships, thank you!*

our flight was early saturday morning. our good friends, heather & brian came that morning to stay with finn until they dropped him off at daycare that afternoon. my other dear friend, bonnie, took us to the airport. as i was walking to security i remembered the frozen milk for maya that was sitting in the freezer, doh! she'd need it while i was shooting the wedding. i was cutting it really close, but i called brian (& woke him up, again!) & he rushed it over to me. (thankfully, we live about 5 minutes away from the airport) there is a family line at the security gates, so we breezed right on through there, after i'd run the length of the airport!

we get on the plane & land in d.c. with no problems, maya is a great traveler. my sister took the train in from new york to hang out with us for the weekend. steph & our cousin danielle were on their way to pick us up. such sweet, excited faces jumped out of the car & stole my baby away from me.

i finally get the car seat in & we head to dee's house. she's driving really slow but i don't want to say anything & then finally she says "sorry ya'll i'm just really nervous!" it was adorable. our other cousin courtney lives in d.c & then randomly their sister ashley was in town too! shuey, are you confused yet?

anyways here are some pictures from our short visit. so short i didn't get to see any of my favorite peops that live there, except for chris! we met for breakfast monday morning.

steph & i headed out on monday- so we headed to some cute town for some shopping before we left. had lunch at a cute lil irish pub & walked around a bit. lovely way to spend an afternoon.
