Just to prove we were there :)

We went down to visit the Cherry Blossoms on Friday night after work. It was actually a great time---the pictures don't really reflect that because it was super cold and windy and we were trying to keep ourselves warm...(and I'm not sure who those people are, but aren't the trees AMAZING!!!??) what's up with this winter weather in spring??? Harrison loved the beautiful trees, looking in the water, seeing the ducks "sleeping" in the grass, and going on the "metro train." Fun stuff. Plus we got to see where Cory works which was a treat--if you ask me anyone who gets to work where people go on vacation is super lucky. The National Geographic museum looks pretty freaking awesome--where are those free tickets, honey?

In other news, Harrison's new favorite expression is "just a minute..." he's getting us back for all those times we said it to him...this is his response any time we ask him to do something he doesn't want to do---Cute for awhile, getting old FAST :)

National Aquarium

A few weeks back we spent a great Saturday at the National Aquarium in Baltimore. Our pictures are a bit lacking but it was a great time--definitely the best aquarium I've ever been to and maybe even worth the steep prices. Harrison LOVED the fish, sharks, stingrays, etc. And the little kid area with the puppet theater too. I loved the beautiful view of the National Harbor and the fact that we wandered around forever to find a dive to get fish and chips and yummy bread at afterwards :)

There were a TON of sharks which you watch as you go up and down this huge ramp system...I LOVED the layout of the aquarium...

And he's LOOKING AT THE CAMERA!!! YAY!!! not smiling, but....

Wow-jellyfish, sharks, a huge sea turtle..awesome!

Let's GO mommy!!!!

Bad glare...cool creepy fish

I took this picture to remind myself that I let Harrison play with my makeup on the drive up and he "paint hair" with long-wearing lipstick...oops...

They had divers feeding the rays in the huge tank and we got to watch for awhile which was SO cool!

Harrison Running-just for fun

you'll notice how neither of us follow through on our promise to run with him....apparently we encourage exercise but don't participate...(keep in mind I did go to the gym earlier and cory just finished mowing the lawn)
