This weekend was Memorial Day. I went on a road trip with my hubby-to-be to Washington, D.C. It was nice to getaway from NY for a little while. Nice to not have to think about moving and unpacking and just relax and have no schedule whatsoever. It wasn't the beach or anything, but it was still nice. We took the greyhound bus which was totally chaotic, but what do you expect? Supposedly it had wi-fi and it did have plugs so you can plug in your charger or your lap top if you brought one. That's a nice perk. There was hardly any traffic going there and leaving. What more can you ask for?
Saturday we arrived late afternoon. Our hotel room wasn't ready yet so we wandered to Union Station and got some food. We also got some ice cream and looked at the stores that they had over there. We went back to our hotel and the room was ready by then thank goodness, and we just stayed in and relaxed.
Sunday we walked all over the place, visited museums: Native American, Air and Space, Natural History, the Botanical Gardens, the Sculpture Garden, walked to Capital Hill, the Washington Monument, White House, ate near the Spy Museum but didn't go in. My feet were in the worse pain I have ever felt from walking. I think I totally overexerted myself, but the baby seems ok. I think I have one tough kid in my belly. My stomach broke out in some kind of heat rash too. Ugh. But it went away by the end of the next day. There was a motorcyle brigade - in honor of Memorial Day on Sunday as well. The line of bikes, mostly Harleys, kept going and going and going and going. It made it pretty hard to cross the street. It was pretty hot out but not as hot as the next day so thank goodness we got all that walking done before Monday. I got to see my godparents / my godsister and met her kids for the first time on Monday. They are so adorable! The eldest (2 yrs old) has the most beautiful smile, and the baby (6 mos) was a little pudge and also really smiley and happy. It was great to see them. It's hard to imagine that pretty soon I will have my own little one to take care of.
In a couple of weeks, I start taking my birthing class, and we get a tour of the hospital facilities. That should be interesting. Everything is happening so fast, and I still have to finish unpacking my stuff in the new apt. I'm sort of almost done...but not quite. Did I mention we set a wedding date too?
