"A successful man is someone who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much, who has gained the respect of others and the love of children; who leaves the world better than he found it; who never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty ; who always looked for the best in others and gave the best he had. "
- a variation of "Success" by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Recent Trips

We made quite a few trips over the past weekends. Mason has been a great traveler. He sleeps all the time no matter where we go, only wakes up when he is hungry (very different than when he is home). Following are some pictures from those fun trips.

===== Clemyjontri Park =====
This park is kids paradise. Although it is in McLean, it is worth for the driving (and gas!).



Mom couldn't find Dad's size of this T-shirt so she bought one for me instead.




===== National Arboretum =====
Mom's aunt and cousin were visiting us over the July 4th weekend. We spent just a little bit over an hour at the National Arboretum. It is all Ikea Summer Sale's fault!



===== Sunflower Field at River Road =====
It maybe too flowery for the boys, but we enjoyed embracing by the flowers (not the bugs)!
