the Brooks' Washington DC visit
























We had a lot of fun visiting this week! Yesterday we all went on an adventure to ride a little train at the park, then met Nancy and Robert at the Butterfly exhibit (a greenhouse filled with butterflies from around the world) We liked seeing the colorful butterflies but the babies did try to stomp a few. Then back to Wilbergs with a quick stop at the Dutch Market to pick up treats and the CrabShack. Sure wish we all lived closer! The Brooks left at 3:30 am this morning- we miss you already!
