Celebrating Grandpa and Grandma R. and the DC Cherry Blossoms

My parents are in town this week to visit us, and it is going to be the last time we see them for a while. In two weeks, my parents will be moving to Hawaii, and in a little over a month, we will be moving to the Middle East! Moving to Hawaii has been a dream of my parents for many years, and we are excited that they are finallly able to pursue this oppportunity. Caleb was excited about their arrival, and he wanted to go with Nathan to pick them up from the airport.

We played around the house that evening, and the boys enjoyed the extra love and attention. Caleb is even sporting his Hawaiin shirt:) 

And Ben is happy to see Grandpa and Grandma. 

Last week my mom retired! She worked very hard her entire life, and I am very proud of her many accomplishments and most importantly the people she impacted along the way. 

Cherry blossom season is one of my favorite times of the year to be in the DC area. I have seen everything from rain, to snow, to beautiful sunny weather for the cherry blossom peak, and I have been lucky to get downtown almost every year for the peak since I lived in the area. This year, the weather was B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L! Here are some pictures from our day today.

We visited the Jefferson Monument, and Caleb climbed all the way to the top and back down. He is training for our trip to the Rocky stairs in Philadelphia this weekend.

After walking around the Tidal Basin, we found a shady tree to relax under.

Caleb is so sweet, this tree got a hug and a kiss:).



 

We had a fun day soaking up the beauty of the cherry blossoms!
