Uncle Aaron's Visit

Uncle Aaron came for a visit. It was so fun having him here, he is just a lad back, easy going, free spirited boy.

Just like Aunt Tobi he arrived late Tuesday night. Here is our week of adventures.

Wednesday: We took the kids to the CRAZY House of Bounce, and note to self, never again will I do that on day there is no school. Afterwards we went down to Fair Oaks mall where Uncle Aaron spoiled the kids and got them each a Build a Bear. What fun!!!

Thursday: We made the hour or so trip down to Monticello(Thomas Jefferson's house). If you have never been, go! It was great, the house sits on top of a hill over looking the town of Charlottesville.

Friday: We drove up to one of the many caverns that Shenandoah has to offer. We first started off by going to the Shenandoah Caverns. They were okay, but I would save your money and go straight to Luray Caverns. We have been there twice now, I had to go the second time just to take Aaron, I knew he would love it. We also drove about 38 miles out of the 109miles Shenandoah Sky line; it's not so beautiful in the winter.

Saturday: My loving husband again watched the kids for us while Aaron and I drove down into DC. This time we tried to go see the Declaration of Independents. But we didn't feel like staying in the two hour line. So we walked over to the Air and Space museum instead and spent two hours there walking around. Afterwards we walked up to the Botanical Gardens and found our selves snapping pictures after picture of beautiful orchids and all different types of flowers.

Here is one that smells like ratting meat; it's enough to make you want to throw-up. it is called, "Devils Tongue." We made or way up around the Capital building and back to see if the Declarations of Independents line had gotten shorter. It hadn't, it only gotten longer. We figured it was a good time to go walk a mall or two, so we traveled out to Tyson's Corner where they have one of the best malls. Finally, we made it home in time to help the kids color Easter eggs, and put them to bed.

Sunday: Can I say thank you for a day of rest. Because that is what our bodies needed. I tried so hard to get up and get ready for church, but I just couldn't manage. We spent all day Sunday relaxing and working on our Easter dinner. It was just what we needed.

Oh, one more thing, my little Jack-Jack gave mommy a big Easter surprise and LOST my diamond ring and my two wedding bands; one that Justin gave me and the other was my grandpa's. I love that boy!!! They have still yet to be found. I have looked high and low and in between. I have thought thee imaginable. I keep looking in Jack's dirty diapers; nothing yet. I have searched our back yard thinking he throw them off the balcony; nothing. Pretty much, you name it I have done it. And nothing.

Monday: Aaron didn't get enough of the Air and Space museum so I took him out to the Air and Space Museum by Dulles airport. I actually like that one a lot better then the on inside D.C.

Tuesday: On our last day of shopping, Aaron wanted to go to the Leesburg outlets. What can I say, it was more shopping. I am done with shopping for now.

Wednesday: Uncle Aaron had to say goodbye. We had a good time with him. Aaron my look like a harry beast, but underneath all that hair he is one lovable brother and good guy. It was a fun week with him.
