Well, we made it . . . DC Day 1 was a success! We flew out yesterday from Charlotte at 5:52pm and landed safely in Baltimore around 7:15pm. This was Campbell's first flight and trust me . . . there was a nice debate the day of . . . should we or shouldn't we do the baby Benedryl. We didn't and Campbell was perfect!
FYI - we're staying with Martha's sister Julie, Dean, and their two boys.
Today was a jam packed day, well sort of. It was one of those days that you feel like you went everywhere and saw everything, but in retrospect, we really only went to the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. However, three children (Zachary, Jacob, and Campbell), the trip in with three Metro transfers, and the one stop to the Museum wore us out!!!!

One of the Metro stops was in this mall . . . I don't remember the name of it . . . but it was big!
All of us on the Metro . . . Campbell's first subway ride!

I will say the Metro ride in was a bit scary . . . we were over the Potomac River when CNN reported about the Coast Guard's attack on a hostile boat . . . which turned out to only be a training exercise . . . thanks CNN for making 9/11 even more upsetting!
Anyway, like I said, it was a great day. As I type this, Martha is out at dinner with some "preemie" moms from the area. They are all having a much deserved mom's night out. Also, as I'm typing this, I hear Campbell snoring in the baby monitor . . . she's worn out from her busy day.
Tomorrow, we're heading to the National Zoo where we'll meet up with several more preemie moms, their husbands and kids. I think most of the kids, all preemies, are around Campbell's age.
In the famous words of Ice Cube, "It was a good day!"
It's going to be another great day tomorrow!

Glad you all arrived and are having so much fun, bet Campbell made lots of new friends on the airplane. cant wait to see more pictures. love you all, Di
Oh is that Pentagon City? Looks like you all had a great time. Hope to meet up next time.
Katie :)
Sounds like fun! And we definitely debates the benadryl too, but opted out. It turned out fine as we realized later during a cold that Anna gets a little hyped up by the stuff. That would have been a disaster!
It is Pentagon City Mall. We really enjoyed our visit with you! Thanks for traveling all the way up here to see us! Hope the return flight went smoothly!
Love ya! The milne's
Looks like fun, I remember taking Abby to DC when she was about Campbell's age.....we have the pic of the stroller on the metro! Glad you all had fun. Kathy D
