Mummy's Week Off! A Trip to USA for Uncle A's Wedding.

So, rather excitingly, I took a whole week off from Mummy-ing and went to Virginia and Washington DC for my brother A's wedding.  Here I am relaxing (RELAXING!!) with my littlest brother, T.

...more relaxing...

We visited my brother's University, Christendom College, where he met his fiancée five years ago.





I bumped into an old, long-lost friend whom I'd met in Argentina 17 years ago!  320 000 000 US citizens and it turns out my friend was the daughter of my brother's university professor! 


A trip into DC.





The White House

These two are getting married!

Wedding ready!














 A shout out to Noreen, blog-follower and fellow wedding party girl! ;)



Homeward bound with my lovely sister.

A Beach Break

On Saturday we seized the day and went to our favourite beach.



The Boy made a speedboat.

Monkey Girl spent the whole day looking for creatures.  Her favourite pastime!



Mummy had a go in the speedboat...

...unfortunately it was much too fast for Mummy.

Shrimping


Showing Uncle T his haul of shrimps.  

Good job!

This one needs books and nets and she's set for life :)



Ballet Girl and Uncle T 


Uncles are for saving nieces from sharks in shallow water.






Bestest Papa.

I love my man.




Fish and chips watching the tide come in.  Perfect.
