NoVa.

Last week we went to DC for a week visit.  While we were there we did two ‘big’ activities.

First, on Monday we took Emilia with Grandpa (my dad) to the Baltimore Aquarium which I HIGHLY recommend.  It was so cool and there was so much to see.  Emilia loved looking at all the ‘aminals’

they had these cool tubes filled with water that bubbled every time someone touched them right at the entrance.  cool.

i guess this isn’t so uncomfortable if you’re 2 1/2.

Then, on Thursday, Marcus and I went to the Legg Mason Tennis Tournament up in NW DC.  Totally different type of venue/vibe than the US Open we’ve been to several times up in NYC.  Sadly, I was having a ‘wimpy’ pregnancy day and just couldn’t hang for too terribly long before the DC heat and humidity did a number on me and we had to leave.  Next year amorcito, I promise to hang out longer (as long as you get me one of those extra tall beers! :))

 M wanted this picture included so you can see that Andres Gomez won the Legg Mason Tournament and is listed right there among Ivan Lendl, Jimmy Connors and Andre Agassi. 

these two are two peas in a pod.  emilia L.O.V.E.D. all the time she got to spend with her Papa and the two of them spent most of the week in cahoots with one another.  Here we were about to leave Tia Marga’s house for my dad’s in a HUGE downpour when Marcus decided it was time Emilia learned how to make the ‘peace’ sign.  they crack me up.
