A Summer Chronicle

Our summer might be chronicled by the places I nursed Anna:

At the Lincoln Memorial, Washington, DC

I nursed Anna at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC, where we traveled to celebrate Lauren's wedding on May 18th.

Beautiful bride and friend of 6(?!) years

I nursed Anna on the train to Utah, where we celebrated my little brother's wedding (just one week after Lauren's!).

And sent my brother off on a 2-year mission to Omaha, Nebraska

I nursed Anna A LOT on the train from Utah to Illinois. It was just me and her. Phew! It was a crazy ride, but it actually went really well. We had lots of help from the other folks on the train and I'm so grateful.

I nursed Anna twice this summer in Wheeling, WV, where we stayed a night on our way out to Pennsylvania, and a night on our way home from Pennsylvania. 

I nursed Anna at Nate and Cara's home, where we stayed for a night of good friends, games, and celebrating their new home and Cara's birthday. (let's try to forget about the car accident...)

I nursed Anna in two different homes in Philadelphia, where generous people allowed us to stay during Alexander's internship at Amtrak.

I nursed Anna at Rehoboth beach in Delaware, where we met Lauren and her new husband, James and spent the day catching up, catching rays, and catching waves.

I nursed Anna in Independence Hall, where both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were signed.

I nursed Anna in Central Park, on the Upper West Side, in Brooklyn, at the Museum of Natural History, and atop the Empire State Building.

And finally, when we arrived home, to Savoy IL, on the second of August, I nursed Anna in her own room.
