Last Summer Fling

We decided Monday afternoon to accompany Ryan to D.C. on an overnight business trip. We had a lot going on here that had to be juggled around, but when we can jump in the car with Ryan (no air travel involved) and stay in his hotel room (in this case the Ritz-Carlton!), without interrupting a school schedule - we do it!
The hotel was wonderful - literally white glove service. The girls said they felt like Eloise at the Plaza. We checked in around 9:30 pm. Ryan had to speak and attend a conference until lunch time, so we hung out in the morning and waited for him. Then we enjoyed a half day of museum fun and dinner in Georgetown before returning to our car and heading home.
We would have made it home by 10:30 if Lila's hadn't thrown up! She went from happy, sweet chatter to, "Mom, I think I'm gonna throw up." "Really?!" "Yes - (hurling noise)." That made for some fun clean up on the side of 95 in MD!

Enjoying some posh robes..

A bit blurry, but - the real Kermit
(When we told Lila it was the real Kermit, she said, "He's dead?!?!" much to the entertainment of the woman in front of us.)

Very proud that a butterfly chose her arm to land on!

Lila took this one of her sister at dinner.
