My friend Jessica and I took the boys on a Metro ride to Pentagon City to buy pretzels and socks. It was really about the train ride while mama made her way back from Charlotte. Nicole was actually only gone 8 or 9 hours. We dropped her off at the DCA around 7:45am and she was back at the house by 5pm. Jessica and I blew bubbles for the kids after the train ride. This is Sam reaching for something that is going to disappear.
