We are back

I haven't blogged in a while because we have had family out here! We had Kevin's sister Stacy, her husband Dave, and our little nephew McKay , and Eva out here for a week. We had so much fun with them and enjoyed having them with us. For those of you that don't know McKay and Porter are only three days apart. It was so fun to watch them interact and play with one another, they cracked us up on more than one occasion.We did a lot of things in the short time we had, we lacked a little sleep but we did ok! We went to the zoo, did all the museums, did a tour of the White House, went to Arlington Cemetery,and went to the ocean! One of my favorite things we did was go the the Crime and Punishment Museum. They have the coolest artifacts from all the outlaws and law-enforcement from American History. Everything from the Pirates, and Old West outlaws, to the mobs, and recent crimes like Virgina Tech. We spent three hours in there and could have spent another hour. They also have a C.S.I. lab were you can go through and solve the crime. It was really so much fun, if you come out here it is a must do! On Sunday we rented a car and drove to Ocean City, Maryland for Porter's first trip to the ocean. He wasn't so big on the water, but he loved the sand. He could have played in it all day, and loves the taste as well. He had a lot of fun with Dave & Stacy, we hope they had a good time, and loved having family here to share in our experiences!
