A Potomac Cruise

What. A. Weekend! My parents and Tommy came down to DC to spend the long July 4th weekend with me and man, we were on the GO. It seemed like we were hopping all over Alexandria and DC fueled by Wegman’s subs and mini-chocolate chip cookies. We went all over by foot, by car and even by boat! Easily one of the best weekend moments (tied with watching the fireworks at DAR Hall) was cruising around the Potomac on the DC fireboat.

A perk of your dad being a fireman in addition to always winning “Parent Career Day” in elementary school.

If you’re on Snapchat (Lauren_Anne2989) you already knew about our nautical adventure but if you’re not, I’ll bring you up to speed. On Sunday, we all piled onto the John H. Glenn Jr. and set sail around the Potomac for an incredible view of DC! The Washington Monument, Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials never looked better in my opinion. My dad’s friend provided a running commentary on the history of the fireboat and the other boats we passed by (the Coast Guard, Customs to name a few). I did my best to take it all in. But the absolute BEST part of the Potomac cruise? Tommy giggling the whole way (Scroll down for my new favorite picture of us) and getting a kick out of every little thing. His laughter was infectious and is largely responsible for my goofy grin that I’m pretty sure is still there.

How was your Fourth of July weekend?
