Friends: Adult Variety

This past week has been a special week of visitors - 3 in one week!

Our friend Laura from New Jersey came down and stayed with us for a few days. We went into DC on one afternoon and visited the Postal Museum and made a brief stop at the Natural History Museum.

We learned all about the special design that went into the postal trucks (among many other things).

Did you know the Hope Diamond was actually mailed from England to the Smithsonian?!? Mailed instead of using a courier! They had the package it was mailed in - normal brown paper wrapping for less than $150 of postage and insurance. Crazy!

Reviewing the Smithsonian stamp collection. A group of philatelists congratulated me on starting her early. :)

Amelia having fun with Laura!

Amelia was in AWE of the fish tanks.

Thanks Laura for a fun outing!

We also had Michael (another Auburn alum) come stay with us while he was attending a neuroscience conference. On Saturday, the boys watched football and Amelia joined in for awhile. Amelia had a melt down when we tried to turn her away from the game. Granted, this was during the first quarter while we still had a chance to win....

And then Whitney, my roommate from Auburn, came to DC for work and met us for dinner at a great Spanish tapas restaurant. Amelia did great for being out past her bedtime with only minor fussyness. The restaurant was so dark that this i-phone photo will have to do!

Thanks friends for coming to visit over the last few months! It has made moving to a new city so much fun!
