On Sunday we checked out of our hotel nice and early.
And headed to Silver Spring, MD to meet Uncle Michael. He took us out to an amazing brunch at Mrs. K's Toll House . The food was amazing, the ambiance was beautiful and the staff was terrific and so kind to the girls. Ella mentioned in passing to Ricardo that she wanted french fries. Ricardo told her that it was breakfast food and there were no french fries. 10 minutes later a waitress showed up at our table with french fries! She heard Ella talking and went in the kitchen and made them for her! That was very sweet.
After brunch we went to Uncle Michael's house so the girls could meet his 4 dogs and we could watch the wedding video of my cousin Jenny.
The girls loved the dogs!
We then headed to Baltimore to check out the Aquarium-which is fabulous!
Ella enjoyed holding Uncle Michael's hand
And petting him
What was the first thing we saw when we walked in? Christmas Carolers..on November 17th!!
But the girls really did enjoy them. (Sofia is teething her canines so it was near impossible to get that paci out of her mouth!)
It was really hard for me to get pictures inside without them being blurry, so I didn't take many. But it was very cool. We got to see a lot of sharks and we got to watch the staff go in the giant tanks in scuba gear to feed and give some love to the sting rays and turtles. It really is a wonderful aquarium.
Before we left we stopped at the Cafe to get some snacks and in typical Ella fashion she quickly made friends and had a dance party in the middle of the cafe.
Sofia even got in on the action
We then packed up and started on our way home. We got to stop at The Cracker Barrel right at the Maryland/Delaware boarder for dinner which is some good ole' Southern comfort food. A great way to end the weekend!
Ricardo made up a new state slogan for Delaware too- "Delaware: Don't Blink"
We had a wonderful weekend and the girls were both really great. Ella slept like a champ in her own queen bed, Sofia not so much, but we pushed them both and they both really did great. It's really nice taking trips with the girls. I'm glad we did it and we'll definitely be taking some more come Spring. We have so many places we want to visit with them-Hershey, PA, Boston, MA, Sesame Place, and more.
