When we last posted, we had just run the Cherry Blossom 10-Miler race on April 1st. The next day, we discovered the joke was on us as it was hard to get out of bed. The 10 miles had taken its toll, but we managed to make it through the work day. While a relaxing evening and early bedtime was what we needed, instead Ben went grocery shopping, Kelly did a weeks worth of baking (english muffins, pizza crust, bread), and we stayed up until midnight watching the national championship game.
Tuesday was a big day Mosely. She had to get a haircut and the groomers is located near our office, so she got to walk to work with us. We dropped her off before heading to the office. She got to spend some of the day in "doggie day care," where we are sure she thrived with all her new found friends. After work we picked her up and headed home.
Approximately 10 minutes after getting home, Mo passed out on the couch. She is not used to having to be awake for more than 4 hours a day, so all the activity had taken it out of her.
The rest of the week passed fairly quickly. We started utilizing Capital Bikeshare even more, which sped up our commuting considerably. That gave us a little extra time in the evenings to get ready for the Friday arrival of the fam.
Everyone arrived on Friday afternoon. After the long drive, everyone was ready for an early evening. It was nice to catch up and plan out the weekend ahead.
Ben made biscuits and gravy from scratch on Saturday morning. After breakfast, he headed to work and everyone else headed to Eastern Market, which is always a good Saturday morning destination.
After leaving Eastern Market, Kelly and the fam headed out to the Air & Space Museum Annex. Even the second time around, Kelly was still impressed.
The fam seemed to enjoy seeing all the aircraft on display. Steve took a particular interest and probably would have stayed longer, but the twins were ready to go.
After the annex, it was back at the house for the evening. Our plans changed a little when Layla's developed a fever. Steve and Abbey took Layla to get checked out and the rest of us hung out at the apartment and then went for a walk up to the Capitol.

Full, we headed out to walk a bit of lunch off. The fam went to see the MLK and FDR memorials, while Ben and Kelly staked out a good spot in the park.
After seeing the monuments and the tail end of the cherry blossoms, everyone was excited for the traditional Easter egg hunt.
