Part of our trip was a Big City Adventure. Uncle Jamie and Aunt Corinna live in Gaithersburg, Maryland, minutes from the last train station on the Red Line out of the city. The girls and I took advantage of their convenient location to go into D.C. and check-out some sights.
Our first day was cool and cloudy. The weather matched our moods. As we entered each building, the crowds seemed to suck the life right out of us, yet it was too cold and windy to be outside too long. (Check out the flags in this picture of the girls hiding behind the Washington Monument.)
In addition, Alia demanded that I carry her absolutely everywhere. We decided to call our first trip a "scouting mission" and headed back to Gaithersburg early. We'd return again another day, wiser and ready for action.
