Boating with Uncle Bryan & Aunt Laura

Georgetown

Taking his job as driver very seriously

While we were up north, we got to spend 2 days with Bryan, Laura and Mack. Evan and Mack sort of got along, Evan really just bossed him around. I think he loves having someone he can tell to "no", "stop", "don't do that" to. It was pretty funny. Guess this is a preview to how he could be with the baby, let's hope not! Anyway, we had so much fun staying with them and then on Labor Day they took us out on their beautiful boat on the Potomac River. It was cloudy and ended up raining and was a little chilly. Bryan and Laura were bummed about the weather, we were thrilled (minus the rain part). We were all pretty excited to be wearing cooler weather clothes. Seeing D.C. from the Potomac was really cool, it was so fun seeing the Washington Monument, Jefferson Memorial and Georgetown. We also got to see Mt. Vernon which I have never been to before. Even with the rain, we had a blast and the rain was kind of funny to all, except for maybe Bryan, who couldn't huddle under the cover and the blankets. That night, the great day was topped off with crabs and steamed shrimp, plus Joey (Laura's youngest brother) entertaining Evan the whole time so we could eat. It was fantastic. Being up there with them and the rest of the family definitely makes us miss it up there.
