Day 5
Sorry there was no update last night. It was a crazy day and I again could not figure out the Internet charges and how to connect.
All I have to say for yesterday was HOLY COW!!!!!!!!! We were on a charted plane form FL to Washington DC. The only way to fly, if only I had the money....LOL We were driven by bus to the airport, we drove right up on the tarmac and up the the plane. Staff greeted us and security went through our bags right there. When they saw I had the car seat and stroller and all the carry ons staff came up to me asked me our seats, took all the bags and the car seat. All I had to worry about was the kids. Really just Becca, Gary had Adam. By the time I got on the plane my bags were stowed and the car seat was installed. Adam was sitting with me and fell asleep before take off. Gary was sitting with Becca. It was a nice break! We were served a meal, chicken parm or chicken fingers. The movies were free and they went around and passed out full sized candy to all of us. Adam cracked me up... they started clapping on the plane to welcome us, he woke up....kind of.. clapped and then was out! He also "woke" up for the meal, he took a few bites and then fell back to sleep. I was able to watch Doubt.... until the end when Adam woke up and shut my movie off... I need to talk to Delta.. there is no resume button...LOL I missed the ending! I'll have to rent it. After the flight we were put back on buses and brought the the Marriott. Oh my Gosh I need to make my bed like there's ... it's like sleeping in a cloud! This day was VIP all the way!
Day 6
This morning we had a bus tour of DC and had a group picture taken at Grants statue. We had lunch at the Capitol...... OH YEAH that's right. Many senators came, however Liberman was in CT today. Someone from his staff came and gave Becca a letter form Liberman and an award. The award was for CT Youth Hero. The kids had a great time pretending to be Senators and Adam made a Girlfriend, you may know her, Miss America. I will say this Gary was a proud Papa! LOL Adam kept going to her, those of you who know Adam know that is a big deal. He does not do that often! The rest of the afternoon and evening was free time. Gary and I took the kids to the Museum of Natural History, Becca wanted to see the Dino bones. After we saw the bones we headed off to the American History Museam. We saw Dorothy's ruby slippers, Oscar the Grouch, Kermit the frog and the first lady exhibit. That was all Becca could handle. We went back to the room and relaxed and then I took the kids to the pool. Becca was swimming like a fish, she picked up right where she left off. She was going under water and swimming great! Adam loved the pool too. When we came back to the room we had showers, Adam had his first shower! Then out to dinner. The kids had there first ride on the metro! After dinner it was time for bed. Becca got in her PJ's and was snoring before I knew it. Adam just fell asleep now.
Tomorrow is our big day! We get to meet President Obama! We have the morning free to chill out and then off to the White house after 12! In the evening we have a farewell party and then back home on Wed!
More tomorrow!
