So instead of letting the malaise creep over me, I packed the kids onto the Metro and we headed to Arlington to visit my grandpa. Each of the kids took something special to place on his headstone. Abby added the flower.
Plus it was only 90* and threatening thunderstorms. Had to take advantage. As we were walking towards our section, there was a piper in full Scottish dress tuning his pipes. When the notes hit Jeffrey’s ears, he absolutely lit up. We stood and watched him until he finished. Nice bonus.

Way to beat the malaise! What perfect timing to hear the piper. I love seeing pics of your kids – they make me smile!
Even when they are all grumpy, hot and squinting at the sun? 😉
Yup.
Listening to well played pipes is heavenly; listening to someone learn to play the pipes is hellish.
Take the kids to the Washington, DC Vistors Center at the Temple. There is so much to see. They have a theater there and the grounds are beautiful.
Oh yes, Tracy! It shows they are cute *and* normal! 😉
