We're Baaack

A few highlights from our trip to D.C. and Maryland.

Leaving on a Jet Plane

I know I haven't been posting much lately. Haven't really been out taking pictures much either. We've been busy preparing for a trip.
Not sure I'll be posting while I'm gone. We leave for the airport at 4:00am Wednesday morning, and flying to Maryland for Thanksgiving. Hayley's excited because we'll be landing at Washington National, and will be seeing the sights as we drive through D.C. With at least a 2-hour layover in Detroit (in each direction -- to Maryland and back), I'm wishing I had a laptop!
Won't be home until Sunday, but I'm sure I'll have plenty of photos to post then. So Happy Turkey Day (even though we are having chicken)!
