Stop 4 - Washington DC for the Skinner Reunion

My family reunion was on the opposite end of the earth. It took us about 5 days to travel from Cali to DC and props to the kids for not making us crazy! I might say that Brig's family reunion was much more structured than mine but both were awesome... We wanted to make shirts that said "The Skinner Traveling Circus - Summer 2010". The craziness started when my sister Morgan went to the airport to pick up my mom and after trying to meet up somewhere, found out that they were at two different airports. It was a circus for sure but we had an absolute blast. All 11 cousins were together. We toured the Pentagon, went to the zoo, visited Virginia Beach, celebrated the 4Th at the Capitol, and walked through Mount Vernon. Morgan and Tim put us up in their beautiful home. They were great hosts, even giving us their bed to bunk on princess mattresses under the dining room table!
Lucas, my dad, and those who married Skinner girls enjoyed a National's game. I asked Brig if they got any pictures and he showed me about 10 of the scoreboard and field, but not one single picture of them. I guess guys are just too cool for group photos.
Little Gma got her wish. Before going to the beach, we stopped to eat Krispy Kremes. This is my nephew, Bridger, sporting the cute hat.



Little Grandma herself with her very own box. Look at that cheesy grin, I think she'd take that over the lottery. You didn't really eat all 12, did you? Lucky for her, she hides her secret so well. I might have to post the picture of Tim and another Krispy Kreme freak.

Aunt Josie and Aunt Jewls with their box. I loved the little flags that lined the sidewalk.
