Monday most of the family was working so my parents who were home made the wonderful offer to watch the kids so Dennis and I could go on a date. We don't get to get out much just the two of us so we jump on the opportunity whenever it occurs. We had a great lunch and went to see the movie, The Hunger games. I have read the books, so I was really looking forward to it. Dennis, despite not reading the books, enjoyed the movie just as much.
Monday night we took my parents out to dinner. I LOVE a restaurant in Roslyn called "Cafe Asia". It has many of our favorite foods from Singapore. Usually we don't have time when we are home to go there, so I was very excited to get to go. The boys were a little crazy at dinner as evidenced by about 10 chopsticks on the floor when we were ready to leave. They also aren't huge Asian food fans. Colin ate up the dumpling appetizer and Evan was the only one to like the Satay dinner. But, I was thrilled to get to go anyway.
Tuesday, we met up with Grandpa McLaughlin and Miranda, who he was babysitting, at the Reston Zoo. They had a wonderful wagon ride where you get to see the animals up real close. It was very neat. The boys loved it, except for Logan. He was terrified! Colin and Evan had a blast feeding the animals, they have become much more comfortable with this as they have gotten older.
Tuesday night we brought dinner over to Dennis' cousin Shane's house. I was so excited to see him and Lisa's twin baby girls. They were adorable!
Tuesday night we packed up and then played another round of Catan (board game) with my parents. It was a great way to end our stay in VA. We packed up and boarded a plane the next morning. Overall, it was a great trip. We were able to do everything we wanted to do and see a lot of people.
