Happy 18th Birthday Benji!

We flew back to Dulles on Thursday afternoon (flight was delayed, so we landed closer to 5 than 2:30) and were able to meet up with Alex at the airport as he was also flying back to town from a work trip. We all made our way back to the Lamy-Peterson house to decompress and catch up. Kevin and I I tried to get up early enough on Friday to make some birthday preparations for Benji before he woke up, but he was definitely waiting for us when we arrived with his customary Panera breakfast and balloons:





Alex went to the Metro pop-up store to get him this train poster

We decided last minute to add this Lego set to his gifts because they seemed pretty small

For the day's activity, Kevin took Benji and Soph to the Udvar Hazy branch of the National Air and Space Museum:







Benji noted that he has now seen 2 of the 3 shuttles that actually went to space (the other was at Cape Canaveral)

Once back, Soph did some homework and Benji set to building his Lego set:


In the evening, we al watched Artemis splash down:


And had Carvel cake:


And now he's officially an adult!
