Spring Break!

Where is the best place for families to spend a spring break? Where ever people spoil them!
We took a road trip to DC for a visit with family and friends. First, Frank & I did the National Half Marathon with Erin & Chip. It was a cold morning, but we all finished strong.

With the exercise portion of the vacation out of the way, we saw some sights and visited people:

Great-Grandma had a birthday and we had lunch with her. 

And Aunt Jeannette let Joe play with the straps of her fanny pack, and pull up on her legs. 

We also took Joe for his first trip to the zoo. We saw otters, the baby elephant, some apes, and lions and tigers. Joe has been practicing his elephant noises, and is working on his roar.

We made the trek to Rockville, where Joe got some great presents, had lots of fun playing, and did some glasses-snatching (one of his favorite activities).

That night, we went on a walk to get dinner, and Joe saw his first motorcade. It was Vice President Biden!

Since Joe seems to look like his Uncle Evo, we took some pictures to compare to evo's baby pics.

And in between all of these adventures, we played with some Very Nice People.
