The Library of Congress

This afternoon we took a short trip to the Library of Congress. It's on the other side of Capitol Hill from the Museums and other monuments so it's not one of our usual places.  None of us had ever been there and it was fun to explore together!  The inside of the library is beautiful - one of the most beautiful buildings in DC for sure!  We saw the first ever Spiderman Comic, a small exhibit of Wonderwoman, some very old books from Latin America and we even found the kids reading room!  We missed a bunch of stuff so maybe we can make it back again when we're in the area!

Pickin' on the Porch

 We went to our second Pickin' this year on Saturday.  We decided to eat at home and then just enjoy the snowcones when we were there.  It was a LOT easier not to have to bring food along with all of the other gear that we tote along - 4 chairs, blanket, stroller, diaper bag, bag of random things (toys , suncreen, bug spray, wipes etc).  We had a great time.  It was hot but not too hot and the kids just love the freedom to run down and get snowcones!  Declan is crawling now so it's not quite as easy as before but he doesn't move too fast so it's not too bad - plus I have 3 other sets of eyes to help me out!

Dinner at Peg Leg Pete's AGAIN!

 Woohoo!!!  We got to go to Peg Leg's again.  Ahhhh - I can still taste the fried oysters.  So amazing!!!  Emmy wasn't feeling great but she was a trooper and Aoife wouldn't stay still so there aren't any pictures of her!  Declan is a great subject - he is a captive!!!  Aidan still humors me which is really sweet of him because I know he doesn't like it. Declan decided to swipe Aoife's pickle off of her plate and he seemed to really enjoy it!  Weirdo!!
It was a nice way to spend our last evening in Florida.  Boy do I NOT want to get back in the car tomorrow.
