At the end of Hannah's visit this summer, I headed off to VA to visit with Matt, Eliza, and family before I headed to Philly to check out the new city with Hannah. Here are Theo, Ida, and Lars with the neighbor children and their fort - a great place to play, by the way!
I timed my visit just right and got to attend the special Pioneer Day program at the Washington DC Temple Visitor's Center.
Eliza is the stake and ward Primary chorister - and she does a great job. It was fun to see her in action - and Theo and Ida too!
Eliza and her family enjoy a neighborhood pool - within a nice walking distance too. I love how a walk somewhere in Eliza's town usually means a trek through a forest!! Love all the green!!
We checked out a very cool monastery in DC on our "DC Day" - beautiful gardens and tile work to admire.
Appreciated Eliza humoring me and my wish to visit the graves of F. Scott Fitzgerald and his wife and daughter.
Eliza has a well-planned week each summer for her kids, but I also enjoyed just hanging out and experiencing daily life with the kidlets!!
Hannah was with us too for part of the time - always fun to hang with Hannah and Rhoda. And the eats are always good at Eliza's house - I especially love Thursday night and "Breakfast for Dinner!!"
Some more neighborhood fun - a nice treat since VA can be muggy and warm.
I do love visiting our kids and grandkids - and this visit was no exception - loved the TV time after the kids were in bed too - some interesting documentaries and conversations with Matt and Eliza - you'd think I didn't have a TV in my own house!!
Looking forward already to our next visit!
