Lulu and Pops Come to Visit

We have had a great summer this far and are very delinquent in posting anything new. So in the next few days/weeks, we will rolling out many new posts and pictures of our summer.

To start things out, we thought we'd post some pictures of Lulu and Pops (Linda and Rich) when they came to visit DC. It was awesome to have them here although they couldn't have come at a hotter time in the year (heat indexes about 100 degrees almost the entire week). We hung out, went to the beach, tasted some wine and watched some Twilight Polo, saw the Marine Sunset Parade at Iwo Jima, and swam at their hotel pool. All in all, we had a great time and Imogen loved hanging with her grandparents.

At the Chrysalis Winery in VA, enjoying some cooler temperatures, the wine, and the scenery:







Trying everything and everywhere we could think of to beat the heat, we headed to the nearest bay beach to DC. Iggy as usual loved the water. And, then we headed to Annapolis for some window shopping and cold bevies. I know I have other photos of the day, but here are a few of Iggy to wet your whistle:







We also cooled off at the Gaylord Hotel, once my parents checked in for his convention. The hotel is located at the National Harbor where the Awakening statue now resides. The harbor is also home to the national Peeps store:

We even took in our first polo match just outside Middleburg, VA. It was a ton of fun, and a ton cooler in the country:

Utter exhaustion:

4th of July

Per usual, Iggy was a trooper on the hot and sticky 4th of July that we just spent in DC. Here are a few photos of how we passed the day...


We were guests of guests at the Hilton and played at the pool.








We had a BBQ and hung out.

Yum, Que'd Crabs.


Imogen seemed to like the fireworks... Or, at leasts she didn't hate them.

Grandma BB Visits

Almost two weeks ago, now, Grandma BB came to visit. Iggy and BB had the best time together. We went to Jazz in the Sculpture Garden and headed to the beach for a little repreive from the heat. All in all, it was a great long weekend and we all miss BB terribly.


Here are a few pictures. I know, pathetic performance from the picture takers. Beth took great shots on her camera and I'll see about having her send them so we can post them as well.

Strolling along the sculpture garden, listening to music, and buzzing off some delicious sangria. Yum

The garden apparently gets packed on Fridays. Who knew!?!



Iggy hamming it up for BB. They immediately were the best of friends.
