Thanksgiving 2014

A big thanks to the Brins for hosting us for Thanksgiving dinner this year.  The food, wine, music and company were superlative!

Our trip to DC to celebrate with the crew above was extremely memorable: 

Starting from the beginning, we survived a blizzard on the drive up to DC... there were some terrifying moments. 

We commemorated Lena's 6 month birthday. She's adored by all of her cousins, especially James Robert who LOVES to give her big kisses.

I dressed James Robert in turkey gear, because I know he won't be young enough for me to get away with it for much longer. And let's be honest, I could just gobble him up in knee socks.

We explored the Air and Space museum which was a treat for kids and adults alike.

We rode the metro-- just for fun (never thought I would have said that when I lived in DC years ago). 

We visited the National Zoo for Zoo Lights. It was beautiful!

And we got into the holiday spirit.  We ate at a delicious restaurant in the District called Casa Luca that I would highly recommend.
