We're Back

What a trip! As I joked with Jake, this is not my top choice of vacations. I much prefer a tropical beach locale... but I must say the trip was great!

We started by flying to Norfolk, Virginia. After landing at 11:30 pm we checked into a close hotel and went to sleep. The next day we rented a car and got to see some of the state. The end goal was Charlottesville, Virginia where Monticallo is located and where we would be staying the night. We weren't in too much of a rush so we got to enjoy the sights. We even stopped in Williamsburg and peeked around.

D.C. was next. We had a great time seeing the monuments and museums, but the heat made it difficult for me. I was tired due to the pregnancy and the walking in heat and humidity did not help this. I took an afternoon nap almost daily. Regardless of heat or energy levels, we loved our time in D.C.

We didn't really take pictures in New York. We have both been there before and used this as our "relaxing" part of the trip.

Then came Boston! A first for both of us. It was a really neat city and we both enjoyed it. I think I would have appreciated it even more if it was the beginning of our trip when I had more energy (or I wasn't pregnant). Again, there were a couple of naps during the afternoons...

Pregnancy Update: Afternoon naps; no real bump yet, but it looks like I've had too much to eat; 12 week appointment on Wednesday.
