East Coast Vacation

Jeff & I saved all year for a 10 day vacation to see the east coast.DC,NYC, and Boston. After a year of wedding planning we were more than ready. Just the two of us. Then it all changed in an instant. Mystic Ct is only a 1 1/2 hour train ride from Boston. The Graces (aka the Wontons) lived there. Travis & Jades old neighbors and dear friends. And Trav knew this because he told us this info. Oh he wished they could go. If you have ever seen Travs sad face you know what I was dealing with. But we couldn't just take 2 of them.
It has been years since we had taken a family vacation. Could we??? Can everyone take time from work???
It was on. Everything fell into place and we were off and running with a plan. The closer it got the more excited we all got.
We flew into DC. All 7 of us. We had three days to explore this city before taking the train to NYC. We checked into our hotel and went to check out Georgetown. The next day we took a 6 hour tour of DC. It was so HOT. but very interesting. Jeff and Trav played golf and the rest of us did a little shopping. We decided on our last night of every city we would go somewhere nice for dinner and we toasted that city and everyone took turns telling what their favorite and not so fav part about that city was.
I love history so I really enjoyed visiting DC. Loved it.
Our hotel was in Virginia (long story) so we had to take many $$$$$ cab rides everywhere.
We did take the public transportation when we could.

Kate is missing from this pic she is a Tx girl.

I'm SO blessed. My girls get along, my boys love the girls and Jeff and I are crazy in love with each one of them. We enjoyed seeing Dc and were ready for NYC.
