Fourth and Final Stop- Maryland

Daniel joined us in Maryland on Tuesday and Nonni and Papa took care of Violet on Wednesday morning while we took a stroll around the Naval Academy yard. We enjoy going back to the school and seeing the changes as well as remembering our times together there.

It was gorgeous weather the whole week we were there. We enjoyed walking around Annapolis with a light breeze and low 80s weather. Nice cool down for our visit.

Nonni and Papa got a lot of cuddling in as you can see.

Violet loved all the attention and had quite a shock when we returned home. Not being held all the time is hard. :)

Auntie Lauren was able to come over in the evenings and see all of us and Uncle Kris joined us one evening also. Auntie Lolly and Nonni reading some great new books Lolly got her hands on at work. Woohoo for new books! Yeah for a librarian auntie!

Nonni had bought a box of oranges earlier in the week and it became the toy of the week. Vi fit perfect in it and Uncle Kris made the perfect car noises. One night Vi got quite the ride in her toy car box.

We enjoyed several nights eating on the porch outside; like I said the weather was gorgeous. As always, we enjoyed some yummy grilling from my Daddy and some beautiful garden walks enjoying all their hard work outside.

Vi enjoyed having her cute high chair taken outside for a outdoor dinner.

Vi even got a bath in the kitchen sink. She really loves splashing around in the water so of course it was another photo opportunity and Lolly and her lens captured a good one.

We enjoyed a wonderful visit with my family and we always look forward to the next.

Flying home was an adventure. Violet did really well for a contained little one.

 We flew out of Baltimore to Chicago where we got on the same plane as the Newsboys. Michael Tait, previously with DCTalk, was walking around and he was the one I recognized. Apparently he is with the Newsboys now. Well it was very exciting for me since I have listened to DCTalk since I was in grade school and Newsboys since middle school. It was pretty neat to see them all hanging out on Southwest Airlines.

We made it to San Jose where Amaya graciously picked us up and delivered us to our car. We were thankful to be on the road home. Saturday was a catch up day of rest and Sunday got us all excited for the 4th of July. I will post more soon!
