Richmond / DC Trip

Memorial Day weekend Jake, Madison & I went to Richmond, VA to visit my cousin Jessica and her husband, Jeremy. We were so excited to get to spend some time with them & to have a weekend away. I was unsure how the 9-10 hour drive in the car would go with an almost 3 year old, but Madison did really well!

We were spoiled, pampered & cooked for by our amazing hosts & we had a great time! We explored downtown Richmond one day and took a walk along the James River and the canal. Later that day we did some shopping, ate dinner, are were surprised with a couples' massage! The next day we drove up to Washington D.C. and walked around / explored the city. Madi (and Jake & I) had our first Metro ride. We went to the Museum of Natural History - Madi loved the big elephant that is in the lobby, but wasn't very impressed with anything else. We hit a lot of the major highlights like the Capitol (from a distance - it was under construction), the Holocaust Museum, the Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, the White House and more! We walked about 8 miles that day!

Our last day in Richmond we just spent time with Jess & Jeremy and had a cookout. Madison got to play at the park & in a little swimming pool. We had a wonderful time & below are some of our pictures!
