Virgin angel

Last leg of the trip. Up, up and away from the U S of A.
Katy in her sleeping bag. She had been so active in the terminal. Wanting to watch everything that was going on. It is always hilarious to see the faces of the passengers who suddenly realise they have got the seats next to the young baby on a trans-atlantic flight! But after a swig on her bottle katy gave in and snoozed thru takeoff again. Then stayed asleep in her sky cot for the next 6 hours!!

She awoke for decent (only cos we had to get her out of her comfy bed!) but then all smiles and a guzzle of yet another bottle. (But what goes in must come out! Good job the American dippers and sleeping bag held it in while she sat on my lap!)

We waited till all the other fraggles got off. Katy enjoyed the feel of her own seat while we waited. Then off to find our push chair waiting for us patiently.

A team effort on the clean up effort so all clean for customs!

Back to NYC

A walk back along Pennsylvania ave to union station (phew!) then onto the 3pm train to Newark airport.

Lovely colours of the trees whizzing past the train window.

Then an uneventful check in, and through security with loads if time to waste. Pretty poor shopping opportunities airside. (Not like the uk airports!) so time for a stretch before boarding, while daddy pops back landside to check out the shops that side again for a last minute bargin!

Hope he comes back in time!

Monument for the army 1st division

Around the west side of the White house. A mass of red flowers making up a '1' infront of the monument commemorating the army first division (I think). We could see this '1' from the top of the Washington monument!

White house (north side)

There is no front or back door to the White house apparently! Only north and south entrances. Well this was the north one (the back in my book!)

Police everywhere but it's surprising how close you feel you are to it all. Katy was asleep of course!

Last pic shows the actual west wing on the right hand side, for those that like the tv show!

Foggy bottom and surrounds

Off the metro at McPherson Sq and a short wander to 1600 Pennsylvania ave. (that's the White house!)

Past Five guys', a burger place where Obama and one of his aides went for a burger one day, just after he took office.

A massive Q outside a Maine lobster wagon. Must be good! Not your normal fish and chip wagon eh!!?

And finally past a mail box! I know we are a little late at things sometimes, but for those who receive a post card, its a sure bet that we will definitely beat this one home this time me thinks!!

Last day

A leisurely start to our last day (well, part day) in DC.

A swim with Katy to start (just because we can!) we even took her into the jacuzzi afterwards as it's thermostat was broken and it was a lot cooler than you'd normally find s jacuzzi. But more like a warm bath for Katy. She thought the fizzing bubbles were fascinating!

Ate our fill at breakfast then sorted our bags out and headed off about 11. A coffee to start of course! Katy doesn't look that chuffed that we had to go home does she!?

Up to the metro for a blue train ride to go the White house and see if mr Obama would like to invite us to lunch!

Bye to kings street and onto the metro. Had to sit at the front again and look out the front window of course!
