Since we've come to DC we've had about a week to explore before Adam started his crazy schedule. Of course, a couple of those days have been spent going to doctor's appointments for Brigs. Besides that, we have been trying to see some of the sites we haven't been to before. Well, Adam has been to some of them when he lived here a couple years ago, but he wants to see some again now, naturally. 

When we went to Teddy Roosevelt Island we tried out the baby carrier for the first time. I can't tell if Brigs likes it or not. He made that face the whole time - hilarious.

 Oh, here are the boys on our first official outing. Teddy Roosevelt Island.

Then we stopped by Iwo Jima memorial. I was very excited to come to this memorial. My sister-in-law was with us when we went here and all of us agree it is a very special site.

Another day we went to see some Smithsonians. While we were crossing the street, 2 women started commenting on Brigham in Japanese. Adam was able to chat with them and give them directions. It's really cool for me to see Adam actually converse in Japanese rather than just hold a one-ended convo with me - it has already happened a number of times since we've moved here. Oh, but because we ran into the Japanese women we were a little distracted and this is the only shot I got of the Smithsonian castle. ha. a stuffed peacock. ha. not the best photo documenting skills.

When we went to the Air and Space Museum, we saw Amelia Earhart's plane. She is one of my heroes so I was a little too nerdy-excited to see the Lockheed Vega plane she flew. 

There were so many things to see. I LOVED it! Adam and I both love space so hopefully Brigham will like it too since we spent a whole afternoon at the museum. Oh, just in case you're wondering there is a great 6 part documentary on netflix that really portrays our history's space travel well. it's called "when we left earth: the nasa missions"

Judging by that smile he is going to love air and space travel history like his parents :)

This is at Great Falls with Adam's sister and her fam. beautiful place to be.

While Adam was at orientation, Brigs and I went to the National Zoo. Brigs slept the entire time, but I had a nice time seeing all the animals and chatting with my cousin, Steph on the phone.

We've had quite some fun since moving here and we still have such a long list of places we want to go check out.

 If anyone wants to come visit, feel free! We have a guest room you could stay in...It'd be great fun!
