Family Weekend

A great host of relatives descended on us recently, leaving Abby pretty underwhelmed when life returned to normal after their departure. We had a great time with Uncle Tom and Aunt Cathy before they headed up to the Naval Academy reunion for the weekend. Last time Abby spent any time with Justin's aunt and uncle, they managed to teach her how to climb the stairs. Thankfully, Tom was satisfied during this visit to teach her something that didn't require nearly as much work on my part, and we enjoyed watching him show her how to lick her finger, dip it in piles of Parmesan cheese and then lick it off while enjoying dinner at our favorite pizza place.

Soon after they left, Abby's Uncle Matt joined us and spent his time leading up to the Marine Corps Marathon eating some good hearty get-out-and-run-26.2-miles food like my world famous chili and BBQ and baked beans. Sunday we took the metro into DC and caught up with marathon Matt at miles 16 and 26, then headed back into the district on Monday to see some sights before he left.

A whirlwind weekend for the family of fish...and a fun time was had by all!
