Start spreading the news . . . dum dum da dum da!

We are going to NEW YORK and WASHINGTON D.C.!! Brandon recently got accepted to the Transportation Research Board Annual Conference in Washington D.C. He really is quite smart! We decided since most expenses would be paid why not make a family trip out of it. So, we added on the New York bit. I can't wait to get a picture of Brooklyn with the Brooklyn Bridge! :) So any tips?? Tips on things to see, places to visit, and on flying with a baby?? (The flying with a baby part slightly scares me but I'm sure we'll get through it.) I can't wait to go though!!
