It was late when we returned home, but the extra day was important for us to have some time to talk with the kids about the big change coming into their lives. Our daughter-in-law is not having any complications – merely the usual inconveniences with pregnancy. She has another check-up next week and then we’ll lock in their annual visit here for New Year’s Eve. We’re truly hoping this time that we can fly them home on 2 January instead of New Year’s Day as we usually have to due to their work schedule.

We continued to have beautiful weather for the trip and no delays although the flight was completely full which was to be expected. It’s a popular time to fly whether you’re doing so for business or pleasure. Hubby did go on Saturday to the Mall with his camera and he spent about an hour in the Air and Space Museum. They are cleaning and/or repairing the Capitol, so the considerable amount of scaffolding around the building wasn’t quite the picturesque look he was going for. Ah well, he got some other nice shots that he’ll post to Facebook soon.

The next few days will be playing catch-up of course and I should make more headway on that list tomorrow.
