Taylor's first trip to D.C. - April 4-7

We're finally getting around to posting the photos (or some of them) from Taylor and Joni's trip to Virginia/D.C. to visit Libby and Lincoln. They went out there to fulfill the October birthday present that Joni gave Libby, a certificate good for one visit from Joni and Taylor in 2008! Taylor did pretty good on the flight and mom did pretty good traveling with Taylor by herself. Taylor was a bit crankier than her normal happy self all weekend, but I think it was due to her teething. Those stinkers are just taking their sweet time coming in! Overall, it was a fun and exhausting weekend!

Here are some highlights:

Taylor checking out the mini-pancake that Lincoln made for her. It was her first pancake!


I think she liked it!!

Libby and Taylor hanging out:

Taylor and Wiley meeting each other (the braver of the two cats). I don't know if Taylor understood what the two kitties were, but she sure was excited everytime she spotted one of them walking by. Maybe she missed her pups back home? Their other cat, Coyote, was not a fan of Taylor. She even hissed at Joni because she smelled like Taylor! Must have been all the weird noises that Taylor makes. Poor kitty was going to have a melt down, but luckily had a full recovery the day after we left!

Saturday was gorgeous so we took advantage of the weather (along with all the other tourists) and went to D.C. to see the Cherry Blossom trees.

Here's Taylor with some in her hair. And no, we did not pick it off a tree, we found some lying on the ground. :)

The whole crew - Joni, Lincoln, Libby and Taylor:

Taylor sporting her little bow and sylin' sunglasses. Notice Lincoln's hand holding her hand so she wouldn't rip them off before we got a picture. ;)

Everyone wore out from the weekend:

Here is a video not related to the trip, but we wanted to share it before we forgot about it. It highlights Taylor's vocal stylings to give you an idea of how she likes to "talk". We think she's scolding Chewy for getting in her space. For some reason he thought her lap was the best place to lie down. It gets even better when he tries to flip onto his back at the end and really is in her lap. She isn't sure what to make of it!
