As a side note the tourist game started about ten years ago when we decided to venture to the Kansas City Plaza (30 minutes from home) for spring break! Can you say hotel pools and japanese steak house? In the past seven years we have had the opportunity to live and play in South Carolina, Georgia, Michigan, and Virginia! Now that we only stay in each state for an abbreviated amount of time, most would consider us long term visitors anyways. Needless to say, the game has lost some effect, but we still tackled D.C. with the best of them!
It was really nice to have company in town (and I look forward to reuniting in Maine)! L is an abundance of energy. He managed to amaze a professional babysitter and at this point in my career little amazes me. We enjoyed playing ping pong, guitar hero, guesstures, and skip-bo. I even managed some time off from working to catch some rays with the rest of the gang, do some more site seeing, and eat delicious home cooked meals!
One of my favorite memories from the week include Lukas finding an "X" on the home phone after Dad insisted "Q & X" were not on phones. Dad, welcome to 2009... welcome to texting! In his defense, I guess those letters used to be left off phones. I'm taking his word on that. Disheartening for C.D., but a good laugh for me. C.D. realized he has the same interest as a 10 year old after repeatedly getting excited to play wii bowling! Guesstures always provides good laughs, such as, mom acting out welcome (the game had just been turned on and was welcoming her to electronic guesstures) or Aunt A acting out stooges using 4 fingers! Finally, last night in a game of skip-bo L kept calling people "poop turds" in swedish. Oh ten year old insults! Google failed me on the actual spelling of the swedish version, but the phonetics are "ben corven" if you are interested.
