I have been horrible at blogging lately.  Too tired or I just don't feel like it!  Ah well, here is some updates on whats going on lately.  First off- we got a little better before going to DC on March 18.  Our flight out wasn't too bad.  She got excited while being in the airport with all the running around.  Then she got overstimulated after an hour and wouldn't stop crying.  By then we were about to board the plane and all I could think of was " I was going to be that person with the crying baby."   Literally, while in line to get on the plane, Baca held her and I gave her a bottle (a small 2 oz just to calm her down) and she was OUT.  We were grateful, but I was more worried on having to wake her up enough to eat at take off.  She was so tired, I bugged her enough to take some sucks while take off, and the rest was nap time and some hello's at the end.  We survived the flight there!  We were both so tired and cranky at each other.  I think it is just a law when you travel- when you have kids, your going to hate each other most of the time and try to put a calm front for your child lol!

        We arrived at my parents apartment which I looooooved.  They got a nice spot overlooking some of the mall as well as the airport and metro!  I forgot how in the big city- you are close to everything.  We settled down a bit and we were  going to try to catch a nap before April got there on the bus.  I got into bed and snuggled next to Baca and was almost out.  My phone gets a text and its from April- "I am here!" it says.  I laughed because I thought I had an hour, we got up to go with my mom to pick her up!  We drove to a ghetto area and found where the buss's parked.  Oh it was so good to see her!  It had been too long and it was refreshing!  We picked up her stuff and headed back.  The rest of the night was planning, talking, and probably staying up too late in my opinion :)

       Saturday morning we were up a little late, but my father was kind enough to give us passes and show us how to use the metro.  I was too zonked to care and left it up to B and Ape to figure the system out.  I am a follower lol.  We visited a ton of places.  We were out all day.  I know we walked over 5 miles.  We both were pretty done by the end of the day!  We saw the mall, natural history, american history, Lincoln memorial, Jefferson memorial, and some other small places.  Heading home we got lost on the metro!  It was bound to happen!  We ate dinner at a regular spot with my mom and dad and rested for the rest of the night.

    Sunday,  we hung out a bit in the morning we saw the plant place...I can't spell it so I will call it the big green house!  It was neat!  After that and walking around, we found the metro and got lost, ended up in chinatown.  Yes, there is a chinatown in DC.  Not as big, but just as cool!  We were running out of time so we grabbed some chinese and my dad picked us up. We went straight to the bus stop and dropped of my April :(   I was so glad she made the 5 hour bus ride to visit!  I still miss her <3

     Monday, B and I were pretty spent.  We hung out some of the morning and took our time getting out.  We decided that Air and Space was all we for sure wanted to see.  We waddled around after that and spend the rest of the night inside, resting.  We did grab crab legs for dinner!!  Oh, it was sooooooooo good!

Tuesday was the day we headed back.  We hung out in the morning and had a 4 30 flight that afternoon!  We were pooped so we just hung out until we went to the airport.  I will keep this short but the flight home with bug wasn't as nice but we made it!

We got home with a day to spare due to fussiness with bug and I.  We both needed a day to recoup from our short trip.  It was a ton of fun and April has aaaaaaaall the pics!  So a separate post will be put up when I get them.
