Peddle to the Metal: Lots of Traveling in the Month of February

We took Reagan on a couple of roadtrips during the month of February and it's safe to say she loves to travel. Our first trip was over Valentine's Day weekend to Washington DC where we got to tour the Museum of American History and go out to dinner as a family. We stayed at a Marriott Courtyard just a few blocks from the Smithsonian museums, which made it convenient walking there and back and gave us lots of food options. The hotel was a former bank, complete with 3 large vaults, and still under construction so our room was brand new and very comfortable! I would highly recommend it to anyone who likes to stay at Marriotts as we do.

This trip was Reagan's first weekend away from the house, and thankfully she slept like a champ in the pack n' play! We were nervous since she doesn't even sleep or nap in her pack n' play at home, but she fell asleep at her regular time (around 7pm) and slept all night long without waking up until morning (around 7am).

Resting up before a day at the museum.

The US Capitol building, just a couple blocks from our hotel.

Our most recent trip was to Apex, North Carolina to visit Brett, Jen and Cole in their brand new house. We drove all through the night to get there early in the morning on Friday, and thankfully Reagan slept the majority of the way. That definitely made the 7 hour trip much more tolerable for Ryan and I... not sure that a crying baby would have made for a very fun road trip.

We woke up a few hours later and the fun began. All six of us, plus four kids under four, and the house couldn't have been more alive! We went to the Marbles Museum, which was similar to the Please Touch Museum, and got to play outside since it was a warm & sunny 75 down there. I could definitely get used to weather like that in February!
