~The International Spy Museum~

We took the Metro into downtown Washington DC to go to the International Spy Museum. It was really crowded but so cool. It was really crazy to see all the espionage artifacts. It was a big museum and they didn't allow strollers in there. I think we could have spent more time and seen more if Zeke was not there. I would not recommend taking young kids there. They also would not let us take pictures so I had to get these off the web with strangers in them:(

POTOMAC

Aunt Linda took us to the Peking Duck Restaurant. Or as Ayana would call it, "The Feast". The bring Peking Duck out to your table and cut it there for you. We also had scorching peaches that were put in toffee and ice water...it was really good. After that we made our way to the Parkway where Mount Vernon is and drove alongside the Potomac River. It is such a beautiful drive. We got out for a short while but I could only get one picture because Zeke wasn't feeling to photogenic.

~IDLEWILD~

We traveled to Pennsylvania on Monday and Tuesday. We visited some really old cemeteries where ancestors are buried. Then Aunt Linda stopped and paid for us to go to Idlewild Amusement Park. I was a little nervous how Zeke would do but in true Zeke fashion he handled it like a champ. We rode several rides and played a lot of games. Mom didn't take her camera that day so she blogged about this and stole my pictures. So you can also see the same photos on www.nanasbloggingtoo.blogspot.com.

~VIRGINIA~

Well we finally made it. Zeke was incredibly good on the plane. I was a little nervous but he did really well. We arrived in VA at 4:00 p.m. and hung out at Aunt Linda's before dinner. Sunday we hung out and I took Zeke down to the cemetery where Nanny is buried. It is only a short walk down the street. Zeke loved the walk and after visiting with Nanny we threw rocks in the creek on the cemetery grounds.

Nanny was such an incredible woman. She was an exceptional cook and made everything and anything from scratch. She worked hard raising four kids as a single mom and unfortunately had to bury her son during her life. I have never met a more caring, nurturing and loving woman besides Nanny...except Mom! We miss you Nanny and can't wait to see you again.

Aunt Linda took us to a Moroccan place for dinner. Lamb, chicken, salad, couscous, tea, almond cookies and Belly Dancers (Zeke's favorite part)! Zeke actually cried when she was done! He just loved her. Yummy food, family and one pretty dancer!
