Trip to the Capital

Marcelo had a conference in DC at the end of September so we decided to take the opportunity to have a less than full price vacation. Marcelo and I really didn’t think we’d get to do too much with Ian being so little and being such a sleeper but we were wrong. He did great. We did as much as we wanted to and Ian had a great time too. He was happy being in the stroller alternating with the sling and didn’t have too much trouble sleeping while we were out. Marcelo and I came home exhausted but we’re really happy we got to visit DC. One of the best things about DC is that while it’s expensive to stay and eat there you don’t have to pay to get into any of the museums, or I should say you don’t have to pay at the door since we already paid in taxes. That made it nice to be able to go in say “this is boring” and not feel like we were wasting money to leave.

Marce tenia una conferencia en la capital (Washington DC) entonces Ian y yo fuimos con el también. Nosotros pensabamos que no íbamos a poder a hacer muchas cosas, Ian es dormilon y le gusta estar en su casa, pero no fue así. Hicimos un montón y disfrutemos muchísimo. Ian estaba muy contento en el cochecito y el “sling”; siempre in cuando nos seguieramos moviendo el estaba feliz. Nunca estaba muy contento si paremos a descansar pero más que eso, estaba re tranquilo. Parece que a Ian le gusta las ciudades grandes. DC es lindo y fácil a moverse en el metro. Hay un montón de museos y son todos gratis. Esto fue buenísimo porque si entremos a algo y nos parecia aburrido, nos podiamos ir sin pensar en desperdiciamos dinero en la entrada.

Ian's first subway ride.

This facial expression seems to soooo Marcelo. I've seen pictures of him when he was a kid with the same look on his face. I'd love to say it's a happy face but I think it's safe to say it's an annoyed with his wife face. I can't imagine why that could be!

Yo creo que esta cara es muy "Marcelo." Yo vi fotos de el de ninio con esta cara misma.

Of course we had to take a picture of the gordo in front of the Capital.

El gordo en frente del edificio del Capital, es donde hacen el parte "legislative" del gobierno.

We encoutered such beautiful weather and not too many people. It really was a beautiful day and a great experience to visit all these monuments and they really are monumental. We will plan to take Ian back when he's older.

Nos encontremos con tiempo buenisimo y pudimos visitar todos los monumentos de la capital. Es todo muy impresionante y esperamos que puedemos regresar con Ian cuando sea mas grande.
