Washington DC and Toronto

It is has been nearly two months since I have updated this blog. I am not really sure why I have fallen behind. I will do my best to update and am even going to take the time to write a few posts to catch myself up over the next week. So as a starting place, we went to Washington DC and Toronto in late October/early November. Jake and I both had conferences to attend to for work (in two different cities) and they overlapped by a few days. Jake's parents meet us in Washington DC to help out with Oliver. We had a good time and enjoyed some great weather. Toronto was equally as fun, but somehow we did not take as many pictures. *As a disclaimer this post is mostly pictures.

Commuter bikes we rented. Made it easier to see more of the mall.



New MLK Jr. monument. Very busy, but very  impressive.

Oliver enjoying the down comforter at the hotel.


National Cathedral. It was closed the public because of damage to the building during the earthquake over the summer.


Spoiled.


Trick-o-treating on Embassy row. (I may devote entire post to this adventure.)


Oliver helped by carrying his own passport at the airport. 

Poutine. No trip to Canada would be complete without poutine. 


We bought the poutine from the blue food bus in the background.  Street food, yummy.

I love DC. And Oliver's costume is the best!

Renting a bike in DC is the only way to do it right! What a fun trip. I love the pic of Grandpa lifting Oliver up to push the button and your hair! I love that cut on you!
