Shon & Madison Come to Visit...Part I

It's always fun when friends from out of town come to visit - gives us a good excuse to play tourist and tour guide in our own backyard - something we don't do nearly enough. So when one of my very best friends, Shon, let me know that he and his daughter, Madison, were headed our way for a mini-summer vacation we were thrilled to say the least. Seemed only fair to host them for a change seeing as we've been to their house in Charleston numerous times. 

Now I'm not saying that we tried to out do them - but we did wait for their flight to land at Reagan from the Potomac River - and right after catching their plane on camera as it made it's decent Harper and I jumped from the boat to the car and picked them up right as they were walking out - eat your heart out Uber! 

From there it was back to the river where we took them on a fun boat ride down to Old Town Alexandria. We had an awesome lunch which included some oysters on the half shell - surprisingly one of Adam's favorite treats. 

After lunch we got back out on the water and took them for a little sight seeing of DC from the boat. They got to see the Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, the Kennedy Center, and Georgetown. Not a bad way to take in our Nation's Capitol. 

Back home we had planned a crab feast and Shon was even nice enough to jump in and make some pizzas to throw on the grill. It was a fun first day with our friends and we were looking forward to more fun to come...
