We leave for Kyiv tomorrow- Gio has one more school to visit, Paolo has a few more meetings and I have to vote and to figure out how to stuff everything into our suitcases. Here are a few images from our last few days....

After the big storm, some "monster hunting" down in Dumbarton Oaks.
|
 |
|
No monsters here, but lots of rock throwing practice. And, yes, he is in his pjs.
|
 |
|
After over a year of Kyiv grime, it was time to hose down the stroller.
|
 |
|
We made two trips to the Natural History Museum to see the dinosaurs!
|
 |
|
Dinosaur visiting is exhausting.
|
 |
|
Once rested, we headed to the second floor to see the live butterfly exhibit.
|
 |
|
And took a pedicab ride back home!
|
 |
|
We returned the next day to the museum (had to take advantage of Gio's sudden and intense urge to visit "ALL THE MUZEE-UMS!") to watch a 3-D IMAX movie on...you guessed it....dinosaurs!
|
 |
|
Some of our time in DC is spent doing mundane stuff...like buying a new suit.
|
 |
| Gio has completely ignored the playground equipment in our park in favor of this giant tree that fell nearby during the storm. |
 |
|
As for Halloween, well, we had a blast. I will post more pictures later, but this is my favorite- Paolo as Cat in the Hat. (Gio was Thing One and I was Thing Two- for those of you who do not know these characters, get yourselves to a library and read Dr. Seuss's Cat in the Hat!)
We loved our time in the US. It is always hard to leave but knowing that Enzo and Bonkers/Cat/Tigre are eagerly awaiting our return helps make going back a bit easier. We have a busy few months ahead with a Thanksgiving trip to Turkey (cue the jokes) and Christmas in Italy. We may even be back to Washington for a visit in late January!
