Last few days in DC

Mom left Wednesday morning.  We did not have too much planned other than hanging around and getting some homework done.  We did manage to get out for a few hours and head over to the American Girl and Lego store. 


Thursday Steve was able to come back to the hotel for a few hours during the day so we went to Target and out to lunch. After he went back to work, we hung around the hotel, did more homework and waited to both him to come back and Monica to come in for the night.  We just hung out, ordered pizza and enjoyed each others company.
Friday I took the kids to the zoo... and froze!!  It was a cold day today and we definitely did not plan for the weather.  We only went for a few hours which was perfect.  We got to see all that we wanted to and more. 

 They have a panda....


 He was not too happy to hear I wouldnt let him pick it up...

 They were staring each other down...






Steve was home by noon so we went to the mall to fix his computer and went to Mellow Mushroom again for dinner.  I think if Steve had his way, we would have had Mellow Mushroom every day of the week!!

Saturday came WAY too soon. 
I was not ready to say good-bye.  Fortunately, we were able to spend all day together.  Monica came back in for a late lunch.  We went to PF Chengs, Trader Joe's and then headed to the airport.  This was the worst ever!!  Saying good-bye all over again sucked! 

We were so grateful for the opportunity we had to spend the week together (even if it was only in the evenings). 
Now we are counting down for his two weeks off in February.
