DC

Mom had to go to training in the burbs of DC, so naturally, we went with her. Aunt Kristi came, too, to keep us company while Mom was away . . . .

We had a very cool tour guide.

Since we were there for two weeks, Dad joined us for the weekend. I guess I was feeling pretty cooped up in that hotel room because I couldn't wait to run.

. . . and chase a duck or two.

I tried to get into the White House, but no luck.

I did make it into the Air and Space Museum, though.

We also made it to the National Zoo. Here Gus checks out a bee exhibit.

The lemon slush at the zoo was refreshing, but sour.

The only rough part of the trip was that Gus got sick,

. . . but after several days of oral steroids,

around the clock breathing treatments with his new mask,

and lots of rest, he was ready to go.
