D.C.

we've been a little busy over here doing some projects on the house, but i finally have some photos to show from over the holidays when we went to D.C. to spend time with friends and take in some museums. it was the best kind of vacation — we got spoiled with lots of yummy homemade food and late night card games and a bathtime buddy for wilder.

Wilder was an amazingly good traveler. i was kind of shocked.

i could have spent a few days at the national gallery of art alone. so, so good.

he thought the gallery was a little too quiet...and also very good for shrieking echoes...

these old masters' paintings...they amaze me. 

it was a long day of not napping at the museum.

THE best cupcake ever. ever. ever. seriously.

it was so cool to be in our nation's capital, even though we didn't get to go into the capitol.

we didn't get to go in here, sadly. too many museums, too little time.

he loved this toy.

and good breakfast sandwiches.

and a cookie of course.
