My parents came out for a week and we loved every second of it! My kids are spoiled with the best of the best for grandparents. We wish we lived closer to them and could see them more often. Hallie cried three times on the way home from the airport after dropping them off. We really really love them!!

Here is a sample of what we did while they were here:

My dad and I did the Trapeze.

We ate at Serendipity in Georgetown.

Then we walked across the street to Georgetown Cupcake.

Hallie got her ears pierced. She has wanted them for awhile but has chickened out. I really wanted it to be her decision so I never pushed. After seeing one of her friends with freshly pierced ears she decided to be brave. My little girl was a trooper! She didn’t cry or even wince. She was awesome and now she loves her earrings!!

The kids spent lots of time playing and snuggling with Nana and Papa.

We went and saw the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery.

They ask for silence while the guards are changing and that is quite a feat for my two kids. The following pictures are while we waited. Mind you it was only like 10 minutes but it felt like eternity to the kids. lol

We loved having my parents come and can’t wait for them to come again!
