Henry took his first trip to D.C. this week, and he and Eleanor were both very good and patient travelers. We returned with lots of pictures, fun memories, and four runny noses. Henry also had his first trip on the ocean, during our fun Pirate Cruise on the Chesapeake Bay. Eleanor had fun watching the pirate show, but didn’t quite have the interest that some of her “cousins” did – but she really enjoyed getting her first tattoo – a red crab. She had just picked out a stuffed animal crabby to commemorate her pirate cruise, and she loved to say “match” while holding the stuffed crabby up to her crab tattoo. On the way home, the airport was fairly empty when we arrived, and Eleanor had a great time running free in the aisles, with Dada chasing her up and down the corridors. She got lots of laughs from fellow travelers as she ran giggling by.
