A Friendly Gathering

We visited our friends, Dan and Kate and their family, this past weekend for some Super Bowl fun, as well as celebrating Dan's birthday. It's always fun to visit these friends and this weekend was no exception. We had fun foods that represented both Baltimore and San Fransisco (the edge went to Baltimore--Berger cookies are pretty amazing!). After putting the boys to bed during halftime, we discovered that Owen figured out how to climb out of the pack-and-play! It only took a couple times of putting him back to bed that they both finally settled down to sleep and we all settled in to watch the rest of the game.

We fit in a trip to the US Marine Corps Museum, which John has been eager to do for a while. We were very impressed with how well done the museum is. The atrium is full of airplanes, tanks, and large displays. The gallery has fabulous displays of marine recruitment and the history of the marines . Much of it was appropriate for the kids, but we kept them out of the displays from about WWI and beyond due to a bit more graphic combat depictions. Overall, a really well done museum that we were glad to experience!

I am glad you got to go up for another visit. We made a very quick stop in that museum when we were there last month - it is really good. Thanks for sharing.
