Dumbarton Oaks with Meme

Last month, Meme visited just in time to see the wisteria bloom in the gardens at Dumbarton Oaks, in Georgetown.

Wow!

Meme liked it too...

But then Zula and I discovered the fountain...

and a magic door...

There were lots of paths to explore...

Uh-oh!

My sister's a lot of fun, can you tell?

Of course, I like smelling flowers, too.

Not to mention "spinny":

Can you believe someone used to live here?

Maybe we need to build a wisteria trellis....

One last thing -- look at the cool photo Zula took:

Thanks for coming to visit, Meme!

Alligators at the Beach

We had a great Passover seder this year (sorry, Mommy didn't take any photos, because she was leading it) with special guests Pollyanne, Raj and Kai!

Right after the seder Zula and I went to sleep in our carseats while Mommy and Daddy drove through the night. We had breakfast in Beaufort, SC and then went on to Huntington State Park, where we stayed for three nights, in the campsite above.

Here's a sign by the visitor's center. Yikes!

Welcome to the beach!

We found lots of sand dollars and crabs...

I was too little to climb the lighthouse, but do you see Daddy and Zula at the top? 

Mommy took a picture of the view from the top later:

Back at the beach, I caught up on my reading...

and we walked to mud flats and ghost forests...

There was lots of quality time with Mom and Dad.

I really liked the live oaks with their Spanish moss.

But, despite the sign, we didn't see any alligators -- until the drive home!

There were lions, too!

After the animals, I squeezed in a little hat shopping and carousel time.

Thanks for a great trip, everybody!

Grandpa's Birthday

Yeah, I know Grandpa's birthday was back in February, but it's taken me awhile to post some photos -- sorry!

We gave Grandpa some presents we made. I also gave Grandma a big hug!
