Mike had a work conference in DC so Izzy and I came along. It worked perfectly because his parents live there so they watched Izzy for a few days and we got a few days to ourselves. I forgot what it is like to sleep in :)
On Wednesday we went to the park and of course Izzy was obsessed with the horse. Seriously, she sleeps with her horse books during her nap and at night. No she will not be getting a real horse ever!!
On Thursday we did some sightseeing; it was a gorgeous day!
We toured with Grant (works with Mike), his wife, and Mike's work partner Stephen and his daughter.
You can't really tell what this is, but supposedly it is the first cornerstone of the capitol laid by George Washington. We had a private tour of the capitol because someone they work with grew up with Senator Lee (it's all about who you know, right?!) We got to see lots of cool "behind the scene stuff" that you wouldn't see on a normal tour.
We got to meet Senator Lee and have our pictures taken with him. Mike thought this picture was cool because it is Sen Lee with his dad's statue, Rex Lee, behind him.
Izzy was well taken care of by Mami and Papi. Mami took her to the library and checked out a bunch of horse books. Izzy couldn't wait to read them to me. And if I said the wrong thing she would correct me, "No, mommy those are ponies." She had it all memorized.
Best part of the trip was meeting baby Charles, Guillaume and Dana's baby boy. Izzy loved playing with him, but had to be reminded to be soft. She would bounce him in his rocker and say, "go faster!" We had to tell her he did not want to go fast. Not everyone is as crazy as you Izzy!!
Such a cuties
One night at the conference they had the old white house chef, Walter Scheib, prepare the meals and he spoke to us also. He told lots of funny stories about working with the Clintons and the Bushes. He cooked the best meal ever!! I wish he could be my personal chef!
The cousins watching a DVD together. Izzy was a bit controlling with her toys/gadgets (as you can tell she had to be holding it). I think we need to work on sharing.
Mike and Baby Charles.
We love Baby Charles!
All the Bergeron cousins! Trying to get them to look at the camera was near impossible.
I am lucky to have such great sister and brother in laws!!

What a fun trip! The pic of all the cousins is so CUTE! & Izzy is such a lil character- we'll see if you hold to the "she's never going to get a real horse" statement... She might just talk you into it:) Miss you!
