Baby Shower in DC

departed Timberlake on Thursday about 12:30 for the trip to DC/Arlington. completed the trip uneventfully with rain showers, etc. Wiley and Archer were good road warriors. a couple dvds and pit stops were all that was required. eventually arrived after a slight side trip across the river into DC. checked into Hilton Garden Inn which was right next to sarah and Rick's apartment building...so convenient. supper at the Irish Pub then the boys went off to bed. Friday we headed to Target to pick up a couple forgotten items (deodorant, W's toothbrush among other things) and a stroller to sightsee in DC. Went to WWII memorial and the VN memorial. saw the white house and washington monument since they are pretty up front and center on any DC trip. carolyn arrived friday night after a plane, bus and train trip. i think we grabbed some Whole Foods groceries. Friday night which was also Rick's birthday i guess we went to Cheesecake factory for dinner; Saturday night we ordered pizza. Saturday we had the shower at the Tabard Inn in DC. Julie came from Louisville, Devri came from Boston, Chris came from DC and Carolyn came from LasVegas, as well as Roseann from SanMateo and Rick's aunts from Pa. nice luncheon and good presents for baby-to-be. (FYI I wore black and white skirt suit, black tank). Wiley and Archer were good and entertaining. departed DC on Sunday about 11:30 ... long drive back with a couple stops for feeding and toilet and gas. would have been a good time to have gps working in the range rover to help navigate around DC. i'll be better prepared next trip!
