Ever since we moved to Virginia, Emily has been wanting and waiting for Grammy, my mom, to come visit. A ticket was booked, and Grammy arrived on Nov 1 for a 2 week visit. We packed a lot of fun and a lot of down time into the days she was here.
Here are a few of our favorite pictures from Grammy's visit:
I picked up the girls early from school and we went inside the airport to surprise Grammy!
 |
| I love this! Shows how excited they all were! |
We took a day off school, and drove up to Baltimore to visit Discovery Cove Children's Museum...it was worth the drive!
 |
| We loved the 50's style diner! |
 |
| Singing a little karaoke! |
 |
| Random "sculpture" along the street! |
The girls had 2 days off since it was the end of the quarter and we took advantage of the time and drove down to Colonial Williamsburg.
 |
| In front of the Governors Palace. |
 |
| The kids loved running through the maze...Grammy is in the pink at the very top! |
 |
| Inside the original cellar from the 1770's, original brick work directly behind the girls. |
Next, we hit up Washington DC and spent some time in the Smithsonian Museums.
 |
| Julia Childs kitchen. |
 |
| Touching a piece of Mars! |
Grammy also had some down time with Andy while the girls were at school.
 |
| Playing with Moon Dough. |
Grammy birthday is on November 19th so the girls and I surprised her with an early birthday celebration dinner at Friendlys!
Before we left MN, Emily had a lot of sleepover's at Grammy's and Grammy indulged both of their sweet tooths with dark chocolate Dove Bars at bedtime...the tradition continued a couple days in VA as well!
Grammy's flight left VA at 5:15 in the morning. Emily really wanted to go, and I gave in. Here they are with one final hug, at 4:00 am!!!!
It was great to have her here, and we can't wait for another visit!
