Welcome/Trip to Washington DC

Bradey (l) and Ramsey (r) at Washington Monument

Welcome!

Well, I have finally jumped on the blog bandwagon. Welcome to the Shirley Family Chronicles, a look into the lives of Michael, Dawn, Ramsey (age 6) and Bradey (age 5) Shirley from the viewpoint of Dawn Shirley. With the scattered nature of friends and family nowadays, I hope to provide an opportunity for those that might care (only a few may :) about what's happening in our little corner of the world. Again, welcome!

Trip to Washington DC:

I plan to post some recent pics of the girls soon, but for now I wanted to share some photos from our recent trip to Washington DC. My mom (Edna), the girls and I went to DC for a few days. It was Bradey's graduation present from my mom for graduating from her little Mother's Morning Out program. They have the cutest little graduation ceremony with cap and gown and all the trimmings (I'll post pics of the ceremony in May). Anyhow, Mom took Ramsey when she graduated and Bradey has been impatiently waiting for her turn to go. This was also Bradey's first trip on an airplane and she loved it.

Bradey's first plane ride

The pilot was very sweet and invited the girls up there!

We visited many places in DC including The Capitol Building, The Washington Monument, Air and Space Museum, Museum of Natural History, Library of Congress, National Archives, Smithsonian Castle, Postal Museum, etc.

Thanks Nana for the wonderful trip!
