Visiting Grandma's & Grandpa's is always full of lots to do because they live in our nation's capital. Our first week visiting was full of a few traditional stops as well as a few new items to be placed on our list to revisit.
The lifeguard at the apartments my parents are staying at was from the Ukraine. She told us where we could find a Russian store. Adam was thrilled so we made our way to Rockville, Maryland to find the store. Adam was happy to find Russian ketchup of all things :) We also took home a cake, ice cream & candy to share with everyone! I must say the ice cream was pretty good :) They just need to line the cone with chocolate so that it will stay firmer longer!!
Jon and Micaela (my brother and sister-in-law) live in Virgina now...we had a fun time catching up with their family and allowing the kids to play. We took the kids to the National Zoo which is always fun for the kids. The day we chose to go though it was HOT!! We stuck to the indoor Panda area and the bird house :) The pandas were very fun to watch, they had treats hidden in their barrels and they were cheating to get them out faster! Very smart animals :)
Grandma and Grandpa took the older kids to Fort McNair for an Army concert Twilight Tattoo. The concert had helicopters, drill teams, canons, the US Army Blues and the Colonial Guard and The Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps, U.S. Army Drill Team and so much more. The evening was a great recruiting tool and very patriotic.
