Tessa's First Trip to the Nation's Capital

Tim and I had been planning to take Tessa somewhere in the car today, so when Cole called and said he was in DC we decided to attempt the trip. Tessa went to her first sporting event, bicycle polo (Cole was playing in a tournament with some guys from Boston). This was also the first meeting between Cole and Tessa. Here are some pictures of bicycle polo for those of you who have never seen/heard of it before.


After we watched Cole's team win, and him score a goal we headed to the Pentagon. We met up with Uncle Dan there and went to the 9/11 Memorial. It was really hot (90+ and super sunny), so I didn't last too long. But it was still nice to go see it, and hopefully we'll get to go back when the weather is a little better.

And on the way home, Tessa and I slept! Actually Tessa slept pretty much the whole time we were out. She did have a brief screaming fit in the car, but thankfully we were only minutes from our destination. We're hoping to have the same kind of luck when we head north in 3 weeks...6 hours in the car, let's hope she sleeps!
