After what seemed like many months of planning and a few
failed attempts at picking a weekend, we finally had our 2nd weekend
visit from Jess, Jon and Ethan. They arrived on the train Friday afternoon and
stayed until early Sunday afternoon. It was a quick trip, but we packed in a
lot of fun!
On Friday, we had a nice dinner out at Silver Diner. Perfect for
kids and great food, it ended up being a perfect choice. On Saturday morning, we drove
up to Clemyjontri Park in McLean. I had a feeling Ethan would love this park,
and I think it’s safe to say I was right. Quinn and Keely like it too, but we
only go there when we have little ones in town. Quite honestly, they are just
too old for parks but they like to live vicariously through the younger friends
and cousins we bring there. 
We spent about an hour there and then it was time
to head home and get Keely ready for her soccer game. After the game, we
decided to head downtown to visit the Air & Space Museum. The museum was a
hit with all, and we spent about 2 hours there before heading home to prepare dinner.
Insert my WWBHM post here, because that picks up our activities from dinner
through about 9 AM when I finished running the following morning. I was so
happy to have 3 extra people in my cheering squad on Sunday morning! After my
race, we had brunch at Jukebox Diner. Before we knew it, the time had come to
bring our guests to Union Station for their return train back to NYC. It was
too quick, but there were a lot of laughs and a ton of fun. We are so glad to
live close enough to see them – though not as often as we would like, it’s
working out to once or twice a year and I know I look forward to these visits.
Other
fun stuff to mention – teaching Jess and Jon Anomia (and Jess getting a little
too enthusiastic about playing!), teaching Jon to rainbow loom, and we can't forget Keely’s salon
complete with massages, manicures, hair styling and even magazines to read in
the waiting room!
It was definitely a fun time, and I’m so glad they were able
to make the trip down to see us. Next time, we’re looking forward to visiting
New York and Brooklyn, or even meeting in the middle for a getaway (Philly is
the most likely place). I don’t know exactly when it will be, but I do know I
look forward to the next time we get to hang with the Weitz Family :)
