D.C Trip :: Day 6

Monday| Brett dropped us off at the airport since it was on his way to work. I hate that he had to leave so early though! Our flight left at 6:45am. But again, leaving early really worked out well. Stratton stayed awake until we got on the plane and then passed out! Poor thing, I think he was tired!

We touched down in Little Rock a little before noon. Stratton was well rested from all that napping! So we grabbed a bite at AppleBee's (well, Jarrod and Stratton ate- after finding a lady bug AND a piece of plastic in my salad I wasn't very hungry!) then got back on the road. We were in Jonesboro before 3pm, and it just so happens my mom and dad were in town running errands, so they stopped by. They needed to go to Wal-Mart and Jarrod had left to go pick up the dog from Matt and Carla's house, so I went with them and got groceries. It was a big help having them keep Stratton busy while I got the house back in order and unpacked! I really hadn't planned on going to work on Tuesday, I figured I'd have tons of laundry to do, but I got most of it done! So back to work, back to real life!

D.C Trip :: Day 5

Sunday was our last full day. We started our day with church at Fairfax, where Brett and Kristen worship. Then we headed to lunch at Costal Flats (really yummy!) which was in a cute shopping center called Fairfax Corner, so we did some browsing and shopping and had dessert at another cupcake shoppe called Cupakes Actually. Cute name, but I wasn't overly impressed with the cupcakes. Then we went to the Udvar-Hazy Air and Space Museum, which in retrospect, we should have gone to one day when we had more time because the boys loved it. The Graham family are frequent visitors, and I can see why! It's so big and nice and there was lots of neat stuff. And it was much bigger and better than The National Air and Space Museum on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. that I had been to before.  Stratton really enjoyed it! They closed at 5pm, so we didn't have much time so we did a quick tour stopped at the gift shop so Stratton could get a plane to take home and Jarrod wanted some books on the museum. We headed back to Kristen and Brett's and decided to have dinner at the Mexican restaurant in their town center so we could eat out on the patio- it was so nice! After dinner the guys took the kiddos back home to get them in bed and Kristen and I caught a movie! Fun day!
