Mike and I got a "Get out of Parent" card this weekend and visited Washington D.C. We left a croupy, snotty, and all together cranky little one with his grandma and grandpa Mehlberg and Auntie Kelli. We couldn't have asked for better caretakers than them and we are still so grateful that they agreed to watch Jack so mommy and daddy could have a blast with friends in D.C. After tearfully leaving Jack, Mike and I flew into D.C. on Friday afternoon. We toured the monuments and went to bed early, knowing a busy Saturday was ahead. On Saturday we did a little shopping in the morning and met our friends Eric and Amy for lunch. The highlight and reason for all of us to visit D.C. this weekend was to watch our friend and colleague Robert Moriarty receive a promotion from Major to Lt. Colonel in the Army. The promotion took place at the Pentagon and we all were lucky enough to tour the Pentagon and were treated to dinner at the fantastic Filomena Ristorante in Georgetown. Elaine's favorite moment of our trip was watching the two-star General promote two outstanding American men to Lt. Colonels. Mike loved the dinner with Bob's friends and family. We were surrounded with the most amazing group of men and women that have served our nation with honor and dignity and we were never more proud of our military than this past weekend. Unfortunately, we had to say goodbye to our friends, but were anxious to get back to our Jack. So, click here to see more pics.
