The Traveling (My Last Name's)

I just got back from Baltimore earlier this week on a bit of a family vacation. It was my second aunts 50th anniversary so my parents/tinches/grandma and leighan decided to head out there for it. My grandma surprised us all letting us know she was paying for the plane tickets out there which sweetened the deal even more. I would have to say it was one of the better vacations Leighan and I have taken together, and if I had to guess the reason would be because we limited our time with my parents. We came in on Saturday ate some lunch with my parents and then walked around the inner harbor for a while, due to the excessive heat we decided enough was enough and back to my aunts place for a little nap time. Once nap time was over it was time to party....but since Leighan and I really didn't know anyone we basically just talked to my immeadiate family ate dinner and then went to bed (as leighan got basically no sleep the night before). Sunday we decided to head to DC with my sister and Jason. First stop was Arlington Cemetary, once again it was like 101 degrees outside and there isn't much shade at Arlington so we saw all the important things like JFK's grave and the changing of the guard and then got out of there. It was then off to Georgetown which was a little more what I think leighan envisioned a vacation being. We ate a real healthy lunch at Five Guys a burger place that is simply fantastic and then started our shopping spree. I ended up being the only one to actually buy anything, but I was real happy with the store selection that GT had to offer. I just wish we had a little more time there as there were some stores we didn't get to. It was back to the car to allow Jason to see the rest of the highlights of DC which included the Washington Monument, Vietnam Wall, and the Lincoln Memorial...we could also see the white house from afar in which we saw 3 very large helicopters fly towards and only one land. Moving along we ended up back at my aunts to clean up. We then went for dinner at this Italian restaurant for my sisters anniversary. Sunday was a day of relaxation...watching tv, and going in the pool. We got back safely Monday night and on Tuesday Leighan left me to go visit her bro in Kentucky. Coming soon Long Beach, Minneappolis, Northern Wisconson and Boston for myself. For Leighan Phoenix, New York, and Boston....yeah we are travelling a lot.
