Anyone up for a swim?




















Maya had her first official swim class today and loved it!! I don't think we will have any problem getting her to love the water as much as her parents!!

White House West Wing































Michael was able to use his connections and get all of us a private tour of the West Wing- not usually open to the public! We couldn't take pictures inside except the press room. We did see the Oval Office and other briefing rooms. Very Cool!

DC bound!
































Maya was excited to start our trip off by hanging out in the cockpit with our pilot! She did great on the plane-quite the jetsetter!

Our first stop of the trip was Mt. Vernon-George Washington's homestead. Definitely a beautiful place, sitting high up on the banks of the Potomac River.
