Road Trip

This weekend we took another family vacation, to the Delaware/Maryland/DC area. We spent the first couple of days visiting with our friends Megan, Theresa, Riley and Lucas in Delaware. On Saturday, we all went to the Please Touch museum in Philadelphia. There were so many exhibits for the kids to play with and they all had a great time!

On Sunday we headed down to DC to visit with a couple of Derek's college friends. It was so nice to spend the weekend with friends, and I was very nostalgic during the trip thinking of the semester Derek and I lived in DC. It is one of my favorite cities and I loved living there...but I don't miss the summer heat and humidity in the city!

We enjoyed getting to spend lots of time together as a family. Luke is growing so quickly and we've seen so many changes in him recently. His language is really developing now, and he's saying lots of new words. His favorite word is "no" which he uses quite frequently, but it's cute (most of the time). He is also definitely a 2-year old, asserting his independence and sharing his opinions!

 I love these pajamas on Luke, and his expression in this picture I took on the morning we left

Heading home after a great weekend!
