A Thursday Adventure

JAC and I are not adventuring this Friday.  We are getting ready to host my small gathering of chicks tonight.  I'm actually really excited.  We're eating lots of tasty junk food.  I plan on exercising twice today to accommodate all the extra calories.

Yesterday JAC and I went on an Adventure. We visited the Newseum and met up with my cousin and his  wife who were in town for a conference. The Newseum features the news. It was actually very interesting but I didn't see much of it.

JAC was absolutely Horrid. In a matter of an hour he threw himself on the floor in a fit approximately 15 times. These displays of defiance were only interrupted by long bouts of whining. By the end every ounce of me wanted to give that kid a spanking! I think someday when JAC wonders why he doesn't have a sibling I'll just say, "The Newseum."

My cousin and his wife were patient, gracious and sweet. It was great to see them even if JAC was horrible. I just wished they could have seen the charming version of my child.

On a fun note, something exciting did happen. As we were exiting the metro the police hurried us away and cordoned off the area. There was a suspicious package and they were shutting down the block. This seems to happen often in DC. They are very vigilant about packages and some deviant part of me just loves a good bomb scare.
