East Coast!

Mini cereal boxes!
Breakfast on the road!
















Every year, I attend a conference for work that discusses energy and utility affordability. Usually I travel alone or with one co-worker. The conference travels around the country, and I recently attended the conference which was held in Baltimore, MD. It worked out so that this time, I was able to bring Jason and the girls along with me! Our first ever real family vacation was great!


I am just including a pictorial representation of our trip here, I don't have time to write it up in detail. Enjoy!

Rest stop yoga



On our way to Baltimore!

We arrived in Baltimore around 9 o'clock at night. Good thing the pool was open until 11 pm! They upgraded us to a Harbor view room at check-in!

More stunning views of the harbor!

Another view of the harbor that includes the Aquarium

The view from the other windows in our room

We made it! Finally!

Hanging out on the patio, pool closed :(

















On our way out of Baltimore, we made a stop at Port Discovery Children's Museum. It was huge and had lots of hands on activities and things to get kids (and their grown-ups!) moving!

Goodbye Baltimore!
On Wednesday, we headed from Baltimore to Falls Church, VA. On the way, we saw some monuments and other sights (like the Pentagon!) while driving through. The hotel had a great outdoor pool and we spent many hours in it! On Thursday we took the Metro into downtown D.C. and got a closer look!
