Field trip to the National Cathedral with our Unitas Co-op friends. The cathedral itself is beautiful, but the tour was pretty lame. We're spoiled from our years in England - ha!
It was great to catch up with my friend, Leia, while she was in town visiting
Happy Birthday Bridgette!!!
We officially have THREE teenagers in the house. Woohoo!
Bridgette's birthday tradition is to go with Ryan and get cronuts for breakfast (super early so everyone could have one before leaving for work and school)
German Chocolate Cake birthday dessert!
You'll have to ask her what the birthday surprise gift was! =)
Still playing basketball . . .
And one of our BIGGEST fans came for a visit!! While Ryan was gone for his Reserves duty, Big Daddy showed up Big time. We love having him around! And our basketball players especially love their sports enthusiast Big Daddy here during the season.
And then it was good to have Ryan back home.
All three kids had the same spring break week! We spent one of the days in DC: visiting the Native American Museum (Ryan had never been), walking along the Mall, and doing a mini food tour of Georgetown. It rained most of the day, but our kids are great walkers and feeding them fun food covers a multitude of bummer weather =)
A different spring break day was spent in Philadelphia! The themes were still the same: walking and eating. We went back to one of our favorite spots for lunch: Reading Terminal. We took a tour of Independence Hall, and then stumbled on a free self-guided tour of a U.S. Mint, which ended up being the highlight of the day. We also walked through a street that has been maintained to look as it did in the 1700s, and has been inhabited since King George was ruling! We finished with dinner at a local taco spot we learned about from the show Somebody Feed Phil - we recommend both!
The month finished with Bridgette's special 13th birthday getaway - a night at The Ritz with Mom! Woohoo! Bathroom selfies, shopping, room service, and NCAA women's March Madness games . . . the perfect combo for the two of us

Three teenagers! Pretty amazing to see Bridgette turn into this grow up, young woman version. Good job Angela on continuing to create family memories, trips, opportunities for together. Including food is certainly critical these days for your crew! Love your March post. Mom
Three teenagers! Hard to believe. As usual, you’ve created the greatest adventures for them, and they will have the best memories of the best childhood. So glad Andy got to join in some of the fun too. You are the coolest mom, Angela! xox, Kelly
