The highlight of May was a jam packed Memorial Day weekend. We went down to Annapolis for nephew Jason's graduation from from the Naval Academy on Friday (he gave President Obama a full body hug.) Swiftly followed by his wedding to long time girl friend, Erika, on Saturday in DC.L & L were their flower girls.
Killing time between the wedding and reception. They felt extra princessy in their beautiful dresses.
Sunday we had a private tour of Arlington Cemetery with (let's see if this makes sense) Gillian's significant other, Juan's brother, Jaime. He was the Commander of the Marine Honor Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown at the time (now retired back to Chicago.) Then a very looong drive back home.
It was a trip that tried to break our spirits. Leaving NY we discovered that A. the driver's side window would not go down and B. our Easy Pass was not working either. So it was cash lane and pulling up to open the door all the way to DC and back. On Memorial Day Weekend. Packing up to leave we found we had a flat. As we left DC it started to rain and as we were crawling through north Jersey, we were treated to a massive lightening storm. A normally 4 hour trip took 7 hours.
But we got back in time for the local Memorial Day Parade on Monday, Lela's forth, Lian's second.
Followed by a picnic at church, with games and fun for all.
