Travers

Our summer travels wrapped up with another trip to the US. This time in honor of Cooper Hammitt's baptism in Richmond, (TJ was the proud godfather.)

We started this trip with a visit first to D.C. (Bethesda) to see Andrew and Puffin and their sweet children Cecelia and James.

TJ met Cecelia before and came back with stories about not only how cute she was but how smart and funny. She quickly remembered him, and as we got to know each other, on our second day said to me, "I can't believe we only met yesterday!"



We got to see their fantastic neighborhood - running paths, park at the end of the street, lovely neighbors, minutes from shops and restaurants and Georgetown....


We were able to see Cece's school....




And spent lots of time in Puffin and Andrews lovely new home playing with James and Cece. James had a mild obsession with a ball, and TJ thought indoor soccer would be a fun game to teach him =)





Puffin's friend stopped by on our last day, and sweetly talked about the 'honor' of eating at Puffin's table and being in her gorgeous home. She talked about being slightly 'green or chartreuse' with envy about how lovely it all was. I too was a pale shade of green - but more so that Puffin's friend gets to see them all the time.

Bethseda is now officially on the list of places I could see us living! Ideally next door to the Travers.
