Cherry blossoms around the neighborhood
Before heading out on the plane, we took Leslie out on a walk in the neighborhood to check out the cherry blossoms that D.C. is famous for this time of year. Flowers were everywhere!

Traveling to Washington, D.C.
March 18, 2022
I have been looking forward to this weekend for a long time. Bree has decided she is going to move back to the west coast in another month or so (which I am very excited about), but for now she is still in Washington, D.C. I wanted to take the opportunity to fly out one more time to visit her while she's still on the east coast, and to do a few touristy things. Without her living there, I might not have the same motivation to head out that way any time soon. So I took two personal days off--Friday and Monday being primarily travel days--and am spending some quality time with her. Pictured above: my granddog Leslie, who is also very happy I'm visiting.

Hangin' With the Mayes Boys
July 3, 2012
Nicholas is 15 this year, and for the first time, he got to take a solo vacation to visit his male cousins in Washington. It was a pretty big deal for him, since he usually spends summers surrounded by his sisters and his three girl cousins. He loves his sisters and Aunt Lisa and the girls of course, but I don't blame him for wanting to spend some time where there's a little more testosterone in the house. Uncle Scott and Aunt Julie were great hosts, and Nicholas couldn't have had more fun on his visit. Nicholas got to play lots of video games with Matthew and Micah, and got to know his baby cousin Nathan. In addition to video games, the boys also played frisbee, picked cherries, went up to their cabin, had a bonfire, and road ATVs, among other things. Scott and Julie also said that Nicholas was a polite and respectful house guest, which I was happy to hear--not that I thought he wouldn't be! Long before it was time for the visit to end, Matthew, Micah, and Nicholas already had plans for a repeat visit next year.
