Tsai Family of the Parklands

On a lazy Monday in August, I took leave from work and stayed home to be with my grandson, Blake.  He wanted to wear Megan's white construction helmet, so I decided to give him a personal tour.  We walked around the construction of the I-270 bridge overpass and saw the cranes and machinery.  It was cool to see the construction site with Blake today.  Hope you can come back and see it when it is done, Blake.  Go, Blake the Builder.

When Jessica and Blake were with us this summer, they wanted to tour the DC Mall.  So, with my Mom, we drove into DC on a Saturday morning.  First, we walked near the Washington Monument and took lots of photos.  Then we waled to the Museum of Natural History.  We took Blake through the Ocean and mammals and gems exhibits before we found out that the dinosaur exhibit was closed.  They had moved it to a smaller exhibit on the second floor.  We took Blake to the smaller exhibit before leaving the museum.  Next, we ate outside under the shade the umbrella chairs.  My mom treated Megan and Blake to a round of the merry-go-round.  Then we went inside the Air and Space Museum.  We went through the rocket.  That's all we had time for that day.  But it was fun to go into DC for a day.
