Trip to Washington D.C. with Celebrity Entomologist, Ian Kaplan

Worn out on the flight to D.C.

Very curious about all the people

Picture taken for Granddaddy


William!


Penelope checks out Cousin William

William cooperates and Uncle Ian does not (repeatedly).

Checking out Aunt Sarah and Uncle Donald's stairs


Glamorous Aunt Christina arrives and makes us look like schlubby travelers.


Penelope is ready to meet the president.  Too bad Daddy doesn't get to take any guests with him.



Walking to Museum of Natural History for IK's PECASE award ceremony

Almost there.  Pausing for a monument pic.





Coffee with Grandpa and Grandma before the ceremony



Ian receives his PECASE award.  Hopefully get our hands on the professional shot one of these days since this photo is the best I was able to get.

Meeting up with fellow Purdue awardee after the ceremony.  Squirming through half the ceremony and jumping into the arms of a random secret service agent is exhausting.

Penny's first cab ride.

On the way to dinner.  I was only allowed to take one photo even though it was a perfect backdrop for pics.  Some of us were hungry and grumpy.

She was a huge fan of the bread.


At DCA, headed home.

Safely on the ground in Indy!

And quite done with the stroller.
