October 20-21 Family Days

Our trip on Friday was long but uneventful. Since we had such a long layover in Seattle (5 hours) I scheduled my interview for my Global Entry pass for that morning.  I was approved and off we went to the lounge that my new credit card from Chase gives us as a bonus. It was nice to sit in comfort with food and beverages available.   We got to DC on time and took a Lyft to Daniel and Elizabeth's home.

Saturday morning was the baptism for Olivia and her cousin, Clem Lewis, who was born in New York 11 hours after Rose.  It was a lovely day with about 50 people in town from both families.

Sunday morning Anna flew home; Andrew took Lindsay to Annapolis to show her the Yard; Elizabeth took the girls back to Travers' house for a last visit with out of town family; and Daniel and we went to the National Portrait Gallery.  I'm not a huge fan of the portraits of Clinton (modern abstract) and Obama (being overrun by the leaves) that are there.  They aren't the official portraits though.  Andrew and Lindsay flew home in the late afternoon and we had a quiet dinner at home.

Since I discovered that Uber had a special of $10 off rides until October 28, we used them to get around.  Sorry Lyft, but we'll be back soon.

Tomorrow Daniel returns to work after his paternity leave and the girls go to daycare.  (Elizabeth regurned to work a few weeks ago.)  That will be hard on them all I think, since they've had a wonderful couple of months together.  We head to New York by train.
