Pansy's New Sweater

So Pansy got a new sweater to get through the coldness...She's not amused, but I am!

We did it!

We actually pulled it off....Steve didn't know we were coming! I was so excited! Andrea, Theo, and I got to Baltimore uneventfully...the Little Man is a good traveler and Steve was SO surprised! So here are the few pictures that managed to get taken on my camera...Enjoy!

Andrea and Theo at the National Zoo...aka one of Andrea's Holy Places.

Here is the three of us-Andrea, Theo, and me-in front of the Oklahoma pillar at the WWII Memorial. Very Cool. Charles and Camilla had been there the day before.

Here I am holding up the Washington Monument. My mom was really excited.
