We spent 4 days in Washington visiting Renee, Scott, Caya, and Cooper. The weather was cooperative and a good time was had by all.

Doug had told us about the Newseum. It's a great museum. This is a shot from the museum balcony looking down Pennsylvania Avenue. |

Under the cups are dog treats, they have to move them into the right slots to get the treat. It didn't take long. |

Sunday before we left it did rain, so we played a board game. Renee had the German version of this game so there was a clear home court advantage. |

It was tough to leave |
Looks like you all had a great time! Love the baby 'bump' - Renae, you look very beautiful - and looks like you are feeling very well! We can't wait to meet your son - and, our new grandson, as well - both due about the same time! Hope we can find a time to get together - we have a new generation of Washow/Smiths to get accustomed to traveling together!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. Looked like great food, sightseeing games, hikes and . . . . doggie games? Thanks, Jack, for sharing!!!!
