Uncle Jason had business in town in early May. Amidst his busy schedule he was able to get some time at the begging and end of his trip. So I (Danny) took a half day at work and picked up Aurora and met him in Town. We decided we would go to GeorgeTown and see the city and try to make it to the campus before we had to goto Dulles so he could catch his flight out. We started the afternoon in an Irish pub in the heart of George Town for some lunch. The pub was pretty cool, Aurora ate french fries and the home made potato chips. She enjoyed the food, however Uncle Jason and I were underwhelmed. By the end of lunch she was running all over the restaurant ready to go.
We had taken her stroller with us to the Pub, which was a 1 min walk away from from the car. We decided it may be a hassle to take the stroller so we dropped it back off at the car. Then, we had the great idea to walk to Campus, which regularly would be pretty cool except we didn't count on the 5-10 block up hill walk. While the walk itself wasn't that bad, Aurora got tired pretty quickly. We got off the main street as fast as we could so she could walk with out holding a hand. So we ended up by the very old very cool looking town homes. She enjoyed running ahead of us and looking at all of the houses. After a while it was too much of the same thing and she got tired. At one point we were walking along and she sits on the cobblestone side walk and looks at Jason and me and says "Sit, dadda sit, uncle Jason sit." It was funny and cute. Jason tried to put her on his shoulders but she was not a big fan of that.
Once we made it to Campus she was revitalized. I think it was the grass. She enjoyed running around the grass, and it having just rained like playing in the puddles. We walked for a while on campus and admired the architchure and the statues. When we decided it was time to leave we saw a 1 year old playing with a ball by the quad. Assuming she would enjoy the baby and the ball we walked over to him. She got VERY shy an lached onto my leg. It was funny and cute. Very shortly after we left campus she started saying she was tired again, so i put her on my shoulders. It took her a minute to figure out sticking little claws in her daddys mouth resulted in bitten fingers...but once she got it she enjoyed the ride. Once we finally got back to the car she said goodbye to Uncle Jason, since we knew she would pass out within minutes of driving away (which she did).
She really enjoyed GeorgeTown and hanging out with her uncle Jason.
