For the Memorial Day weekend, we drove to Virginia to see my sister Connie & her family. We had such a good time since we haven't seen each other for a couple of years. And it was great to see Devin interacting with his 2 cousins, Sylvia & Kyle. We made it to my sister's house at 3:30am early Saturday morning, my sister was gracious enough to let us wake her up & get us settled in. Then after a few hours of sleep, we went into DC to visit The Smithsonian museums. First stop, the Air & Space Museum. Then we walked around the Enid A. Haupt Garden, around the Washington Monument, aka "The Pencil", around the Capitol and the Hirhhorn Museum & the Sculpture Garden. We walked by a lot more museums, but were too tired to see anymore that day. Afterwards we went to where Yin, my brother-in-law works to have dinner. He's a chef there & he made us a fabulous meal.
The following morning, we went to Chuck E. Cheese (Devin's first time) and did some shopping afterwards. Yes, we took it easy rather than going to strawberry picking as we thought we were. Connie is not big on walking around and we made her walked enough the previous day.
We had so much fun, Devin didn't really want to leave. Then he asked me if we could bring Kyle & Sylvia home with us. And the kids were so funny, Kyle asked Connie why does Devin have "bushy" hair...and Sylvia wanted to know if his hair was "naturally messy"...LOL...I guess it's time for Devin to get another haircut.

How fun! And tell your niece and nephew that "naturally messy" is the look right now!:)
I haven't seen Connie and their family for a couple of years too. Hopefully I'll get a chance to visit them before Sylvia turns 10 hehe. I really like the picture where everyone is taking a break on the ledge and Devin is sleeping in his stroller...too cute! The picture of the fountain is a great shot too! I love the silhouettes in the picture. It is nice to see the three little cousins having such a great time! =]
