What to do with my grandparents (an eleven day adventure for the Pomeroy family)

At the marine museum
WWII memorial at night
a walk back to the car, I had to dress them a like it is so much fun
boat ride around washington DC
I was excited in Feb to learn that my grandparents will be come for 11 days to visit me and my family. As it got closer, I was a bit nervous. But I'm not sure why I was because I had fun all 11 days. I lost 2.6 lbs while they were here. I went to places I have never been (pictures to follow). I was able to meet new family ( I meet my fourth cousin) and I was able to just watch my grandparents play with my little girls (which was something I loved to do). I went to the marine museum (which is just 20 mins from my home). I learned a bunch about grandpa life there. Also about his brother. His brother was the 4th battalion on Normandy beach. I learned about the boat My grandfather was on. Did you know that he was a a ship and he never slept in the bunks he never muster and he never at in the mess hall. He had his own office where he ate (went to the officer cook to get food, slept in his office and he always had his clothes washed with the officers stuff) He was not a officer, he was not even a petty officer. My grandpa has been working his mojo over people for a long time.
