Dave, Eloise and Tim got here on June 18. Since Tim is moving to Japan next month, we all wanted an extended time together. The first Saturday they were here, the adults all went to DC together. We walked around and then went to eat at The Old Ebbitt Grill, the same place Heather and I ate the week before.
At the White House, we kept noticing very well dressed people going in one of the gates after having their names checked off by Secret Service. We read in the paper the next day that there was a White House reception for Jenna Bush and her new husband.
Here we are in the Old Ebbit Grill and unbeknownst to us Heather's parents (who live in OHIO!) were there as well! It was only when Todd went to the restroom that he saw them. So we were loud and boisterous in our reunion, raising all the eyebrows of the high society that were trying to enjoy a quiet meal.(ha ha ha!) It was great fun!!
The chocolate peanut butter pie.........amazing.
On Tuesday we went to Harpers Ferry. We just love this little town, only about 45 minutes from our house. It was great weather. We walked around the town, shopped in the bookstore, played frisbee, and ate ice cream. The boys also played in the river for a little while.
Harpers Ferry is where the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers meet. Of course, it was made famous by John Brown's raid during the Civil War.
This bridge is part of the Appalachian Trail.
Yummy ice cream!
We have had a great time with our family. We have spent a lot of time talking and laughing. We also watched the John Adams mini series that recently came out. It was fascinating! Also, Uncle Tim just got a Macbook, so the kiddos have been quite entertained by that! We will miss them when they leave for Colorado on Monday. We only wish we were going with them.

Well, we heard about all these stories from Dave, Eloise, and Tim, so I had to get back to the blog to see how much they exaggerated! And sure enough :o) Seriously, we have your family now and if you ever want to see them again you'll have to come to Colorado. We will not give them back this time!
