National Zoo.

Shawn's parents were in DC for a convention, so we drove up to see them (roughly an hour and a half away) and to see Mike, Shawn's super awesome first cousin- and on my list of favorite people- that lives there.

The agenda? Go to the National Zoo.

It was awesome and the kids had a blast. We ate with everyone and then walked to the zoo, which entailed more walking. Shawn's parents had to leave for the conference and after finishing up at the zoo we went with Mike to a super awesome cafe.

And as a bonus, when I ended up having to vacate said cafe with my little hooligan, I saw 3 out of 19 (?) Duggars crossing the street. I will state, for the record, that despite the fact that their house is crawling with kids- Jenna, John David, and Jinger totes thought that Liam was super cute and smiled at him.

FYI: They walked back by a few minutes later, each with a McFlurry.
