Memorial Day Weekend Part 1

On Thursday we left NH at 6am and headed for VA and we were fortunate enough to arrive in Dumfries, VA at 5:30 pm while only hitting rush hour traffic just after driving over the Woodrow Wilson Memorial Bridge. For those who don't know this can make a 30 minute drive take 2+ hours in the DC Metro Area. Just being able to take the HOV lane on I-95 saved us about an hour.

On Friday we just hung around Lisa's house and relaxed from our drive and took Isabella to a local park with a name of Locust Shade Park. The park had a pond that had paddle boats as well as trout and large mouth bass. On one edge was an area you could look down into the water and feed the fish. Well in this pond there were some rather large fish which Bella informed us that they were whales and not fish.

While driving back from the park we were talking with Bella about what she saw and Lisa asked her if she saw whales in the water. Isabella informed Lisa that "they were fish, not whales!"
