Tully Travels to Washington DC - Day 3...

On Wednesday, September 21, 2011, Tully woke up and was not feeling well our third day in Washington DC.  He obviously was still teething and those new teeth that were trying to come in were giving him fits; so today was not a good day to take off for our usual stroller excursion.  We just hung out in the room for the morning and part of the afternoon reading and playing some on his activity mat.  We also watched the cartoon channel a little bit and Tully loved watching the people walk by below on the sidewalk from our window.  He could see lots of traffic and was so excited when he saw a big red firetruck.  He listened intently to it's whirring siren and loud honking horn as it passed by on the street below.  His little eyes got so big, but he never took them off of that red engine until it was out of sight.  He had the opportunity to see several firetrucks while he was in DC and he was fascinated with each one.

While Tully was sleeping part of the day, Grammy did a little laundry...

...in fact, I did laundry several days.
Sometimes I hung it on the towel bar and some days I hung it on the window frame.

We had a little bit of sunshine for a short time today,
but it was mostly cloudy and humid during the whole week.
I'm sure this was a "no-no" to hang the clothes here, but it worked in a pinch!

When Tully woke up from his mid-afternoon nap, he was finally feeling better.  I think we were both ready to venture out from the room, and I didn't want to miss the chance to take him out for a bit; so after a quick diaper change and a snack from his bottle, I buckled him in the stroller and away we went.  It was only a short distance from our hotel to the top of the escalator at the Bethesda Station.  This is the view of the fountains and flags from the top, we had not been in this actual location yet.

Of course he enjoyed the fountains as always...

...but, he was quite content just watching people come and go.

AND YES, YOU ARE SEEING RIGHT, I TOOK HIM OUT IN HIS PAJAMAS!
Mommy wasn't there to say "no".

This was the first opportunity of the day that he felt good and I didn't want to waste our time changing clothes.  He was quite content snuggling with his blanket and just watching the big world pass by.

We didn't stay out long, but it was a nice change of pace in our day.
Even on a bad day for him with his teething, he was still a sweet boy!
