DC Trip - Our Time in DC

Our trip to DC was for my work. I had a week long conference at the Capital, cool huh, and then a couple of days the following week in the DC office. We had a blast sightseeing, but man we were tired by the end of the trip, as you can tell by Jayde falling asleep everywhere we went. She was a trooper! We saw almost everything: Arlington Cemetery, Tomb of the Unknown Solder (change of solders, very cool), George Washington's house and farm, House Gallery (Capital), many museums, all the monuments, cherry blossoms (they bloomed early - yeah!), went on a tour of a double decker bus that was open on top and Jayde thought that was great, she also loved the underground cho choo that she road on everyday.

We were happy to go but even happier to get home. For us, it is a nice place to visit, but we would not move there. Sorry Grandma and Grandpa Edens!

DC Trip - Richmond, VA at Parent's House

We spent 5 days in Richmond, VA with Tom's parents, sister and brother touring the area and just hanging out. We spent one day at Virginia Beach, a day at historical Williamsburg and Jamestown (some of the first settlements - if you listened in history class, I guess I didn't), toured a really old and neat cemetery where some American Presidents are buried. Jayde played restaurant on gravestones, blackmail someday. We just had a blast!

Jayde's Best Friends

Our neighbors, Holland and Sutherland, are Jayde's best friends. Those two are so good to her and they love her to death, even though Jayde bosses them around. This day it was so cold but everyone wanted to go outside, so everyone got bundled up and were rolling down our backyard hill.

Jayde Trick-or-Treating at School

Jayde's daycare has a day when they all go trick-or-treating around the office. She had a fun time, but she got so much candy that she could not hold her pumpkin with the treats in it. They also colored pumpkins and had a fun time. She was a white kitty-cat for this party. She had several that week.

Carving Pumpkins

Jordan had a heck of a time carving a pumpkin this year. There is a reason why the lid is cut at an angle and he found out why. He cut his lid straight up and down, then his lid got stuck in the pumpkin. It literally took him about 30 minutes to get it out and I just sat, watched and laughed. Jayde too colored on her pumpkin, again.
