We enjoyed a wonderful holiday visit with Jeff, Lexi and Michaela in Washington, D.C. Our time together included:
- A visit to the National Christmas Tree display, near the White House, complete with elaborate model trains which Michaela loved. She referred to each train as "Thomas."
- A visit to the Smithsonian's Air and Space Museum where Michaela expressed delight in seeing all the airplanes. She and GB had a great time operating an exhibit which simulates a plane taking-off from Washington Reagan National Airport.
- Making necklaces with buckeyes we brought from Ohio.
- A delightful tea party using Michaela's new table and chairs and a splendid new tea set (given to Barb by Lexi and Jeff) complete with flowering tea. (The tea bag really does morph into a beautiful flower!)
- Invigorating walks including, on our last day, at Tedddy Roosevelt Park on an island in the Potomac River.
What a great time!

A railroad volunteer shows Michaela a specially-made, self-propelled "Oval Office." In the background is one of several train displays.

Out for walks. (Some had it easier than others!)
Michaela models her Christmas gift from Great Granddad and Great Grandmama.
Confession: One of our walks turned into a fun visit to Arby's.
