Picnic Playtime

Picnic Playtime, originally uploaded by ben.truitt.

Jake,
Partway along our trip to Connecticut, we stopped by Washington DC to hang out with some family. We had a fantastic dinner at a very nice restaurant with your aunts Sandy and Cathy, Steve, Lindsay and her sister Emily, and Nicole and her husband. It was a great meal, but what you liked even better was the subway ride to get there and back from Cathy's house. It was your first time on a subway and you thought it was great stuff...although you totally broke the rule about no eye contact by flirting with all of the girls on the train. The next morning, we had a late breakfast with your aunts, then drove across town to your cousin Emmy's house, where you played for several hours (unfortunately we narrowly missed seeing Sam, who was on an airplane during our visit). After playing in the front yard at the Brown's house for a while, we walked to a nearby park where you and Emmy played. We got some good pictures of the whole thing, which you can find here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/benvolio/sets/72157620154235404/. So this is my last post for the night. I have to get to bed because I start work tomorrow for the first time in about a month. Vacation has been great, but you, your mom, and I have not had much time to relax during our time here in Hartford so far. But that is a story for another night.
