Mum and Aunt Helen's trip

Mum and Helen seemed to have a great time staying with us. It turned out not the be much of a relaxing time for them though, so they'll probably need to sleep for a week to recover from all their early mornings and late nights.

We ate out every night and had Chinese, Thai food, American grill and Itallian food. Helen had said that she wasn't adventurous when it came to food but she can't say that any more!

Wednesday morning, Mum and Helen went to another BIG Home store opposite their hotel and then Chloe and I met them in Borders the book store. In america it seems to be the norm to pick up a book and read it in the book shop while having your coffee, Mum loves this idea - can you imagine what the staff would do in the shops back home if you tried that!

We booked tickets online for a show 'Shear Madness' in the Kennedy Centre for Performing Arts and Mum and Helen really enjoyed it. Afterwards they made it back to McLean all by themselves byt getting 2 buses and the metro! i was impressed!!
