I flew from Nashville, Asher and Daddy flew from Charlotte (this was Asher's 4th flight!) and my parents drove our car from Charlotte to DC.
The trip started off Thursday night with a sleepover with my best friend Andrea (who is pregnant with a girl!) We had the best time catching up, snuggling on the couch and doing nothing, which is what we like to do best together.
Friday morning we met up with my sister and Andrea's sister for brunch. Needless to say we couldve sat there for hours, but we had to pick up Asher and Philip from the airport.
It was their first daddy son flight. According to Philip Asher did great and wasnt too wiggly!
Friday evening our entire family met up at Meridian Hill Park for our FIRST EVER family photos (this will be a separate post)
everything was peachy until a special someone got hungry & tired...
sweet baby boy...
...something about this photo I really love...
Asher and his Uncle Rich have a VERY special bond
The girls snuck off after dinner for a quick stop at one of sissy's clients bar for a glass of wine!
The guys were pissed hahaha!
Saturday we woke up to beautiful weather and headed to the DC National Zoo for Asher's FIRST visit to the Zoo!
Asher "walked" all over the place
(this was before he was a full time walker)
...this might be his new favorite thing...
he sure loves Nana and Poppy
...especially crazy poppy!
...some how we thought it would be a great idea to spend 76 cents to make a commemorative Zoo penny...asher was amused!
...this is such a sweet photo
he loved the panda bear!
the panda bear live and in person!
...let me in there!
this elephant is 63 years old and one of the oldest zoo elephants in the world!
The Apes..
The tiger's.
I need to get a video of Asher's lion impression. Coming soon!
...did I mention they have a special bond?
...where did my sister find him???
(he used to work at a daycare, dont let him fool you!)
the boys acting out
What an awesome family visit/trip!
Sunday we grabbed a quick breakfast and hit the road.
Amazingly Asher did really well, he took 2 naps totalling 3 hours and we only stopped 2 times the entire 8 hour drive!
What an awesome weekend! We miss Sissy and Rich always!
What a fun family weekend! Can't wait to see the family photos, but from the ones of Asher by himself, the place looked gorgeous! And I love to take kids to the zoo. No matter how old, there is something for everyone!
