Our next big adventure with a baby boy in tow was to go coast to coast in the fall. We started by flying to Seattle to visit my sister Angie, husband Lance, and kids Cole and Molly. It was great fun to stay with them and see my niece and nephew that I don't get to see too often. Kris and I traveled up to Victoria Canada one day and saw the beautiful Buchart Gardens, and ate at a pretty good sea food place. Kenny really liked the ferry ride and met some playmates there. We also went to the Locks with the Egli's and saw the salmon run which was pretty cool.
We landed in Salt Lake and then repacked for a turn around trip to the East Coast where we visited Kris's Cousins the McCullochs. We had a lot of fun with them too. Kris and I drove into Washington DC and toured all that we could handle in a day. I have been several times, but this was Kris's first time. I thought it was great to finally have the one up on Kris when it comes to places of travel. He has been everywhere, but I could show him around DC! We really like the Spy Museum and decided we needed to come back to spend more time there. Kenny was a trooper for letting us stroll him around all day.
While on the East Coast we also went to the Anapolis Maryland Boat show, which was Kris's dream, and really hot and boring for me and baby. I am such a good wife. After and afternoon of touring sailboats we got some yummy ice cream and checked into a neat hotel there. Kris went back to the boat show by himself the next day.
Kenny also got to go to his first baseball game. The Washington Nationals versus the Phildelphia Phillies. Nationals won, and we were just above thier dug out so Kris got the pitching coach to throw Kenny a ball. He loved it. We had a lot of people comment on how cute, fun, and happy baby Kenny was. This was a real compliment to Kenny for being so good as we sat through a game during his nap time!
Our last day was spent going to the National Museum of the Marine Corps just outside of our hosts home in Stafford Virginia. This place was very interesting, and we were sad we didn't have enough time to tour all the rooms or look as closely at everything there.
