Hi all. We came down to DC for the weekend and I figured you would all like that anecdote. Going anywhere freaks me out but it is really nice to get away. DC is a great place to be this weekend! I was pleasantly surprised at how many people were wearing masks while walking around at the zoo on Friday. Many more than when we were there in June. And there were absolutely no noses out at all inside - even the toddlers were very mask compliant.

We have DD2's birthday party today. It's just my parents, H's parents and his brother and SIL. I have a list of things I need to finish prepping then hopefully I have some time to relax before it starts.

The hop-on-hop-off busses are a good bet, though we usually just walk and give the kids a lot of time to run around in the green spaces.

Even outside in crowded areas.

I could use some positive thoughts and prayers. My mom is in the hospital, she had a stroke and they're keeping her there overnight for observation. I don't know much more than that right now, it happened not too long ago and I'm getting info from my sister who is in communication with my dad.

This brought me back to my babysitting/nannying days. I was not prepared. This happened when I was in high school/college, regularly babysitting one of my dad's friend's kids. He was obsessed. I casually asked while we were watching one night "Oh, where did Steve go?" He turned to me with the creepiest Poltergeist vibes and said, "Steve went to college. We're going to have fun with Joe now." and twisted his head back to the TV screen. ETA - and yes, watching this made me tear up anyway. 25 years. Wow.

Just got back yesterday from a 5 day camping trip. It was a lot of fun and I'm so glad we had the time to unplug. We hiked all over; DH loves astronomy and was able to share that with the kids. It was also the first time going with our puppy. She was nervous and thought everything was so exciting. She did great! But man I'm tired and glad to be home.
