| We are on our way to surprise Brian on his 30th birthday...which included a lot of fun for us and for the Palmers as we flew out to D.C. |
 |
| We stopped at the National Zoo for the day before heading over to Brians apartment. The pandas were the hit of the day. |
 |
| Brian was TOTALLY speechless! It was a complete surprise and oh so fun to see him in shock before he was able to realize that we were really there. |
 |
| This is Brian still in shock and not quite sure what to say or do...so funny. I would never have thought that we would take him so totally off guard! Yea us!! |
 |
| Brian cracks up throughout the viewing of his birthday video, The Johnson Family Presents: The Life of Brian-Blackmail Edition. Many, many thanks to Allen for his professional talents in making the film! |
 |
| The Palmer girls became metro-pros, they loved riding the metro and refused to sit down, hanging onto the pole was much more authentic! |
 |
| Lila loved the escalators! |
 |
| The girls had fun sharing a borrowed stroller at the museum of art |
 |
| And we walked...and walked...and walked...from the Library of Congress to the Lincoln Memorial, from the White House to the War Memorials and everywhere inbetween! |
 |
| I think we wore Aunt Amber out! |
 |
| Girl Power!! |
 |
| These girls are never too tired to pose |
 |
| We waited about 1 1/2 hours for lunch and we were STARVING! |
 |
| You can't go to DC without taking pictures at the ever popular tree sites! Now this is a face of a 30 year old man! |
 |
| Super Girl Power!! |
 |
| And finally a much needed and deserved stop at the most popular site in town, the yellow ice cream truck! |
 |
| All too soon our trip comes to an end and Lila is riding to the airport in style with monkey |
 |
| The girls did a super job sitting by themselves on the plane ride home...they were so grown up! We had a great trip! Thanks Brian and Amber for the birthday party. It was a great time. |
