However.
When I am out and about with my three darlings, the last thing I want to do is find a way to go to a public restroom.

Today, we were heading back to our minivan in the parking lot of a local home improvement store. The Husband had BabyMuffin and Cupcake in the shopping cart. I had Bito by the hand, and cut through a row of cars to get to ours.

I love living in near the nation’s capital, for many reasons.
The Cherry Blossom Festival is just one.
I hope to teach my kids to appreciate all that DC has to offer, as well.
