The Walkers

We thought we'd take advantage of our friend Travis's hospitality just one more time before he leaves Washington DC, so for spring break we hauled our 16 month old across the country. (Not a fun flight, by the way.) We went with Adam and Jessalyn, and it turned out to be a lot of fun - especially since Brad condescended to let me eat every two hours - pregnancy is fun :) We were supposed to be there during the cherry blossom peak, but I guess it came early this year.

I have to show off my daughter's amazing acrobatic skill here. I turned around to see her across the yard, attempting to get on the swing all by herself. She succeeded and was pretty darn proud of herself.
