We got up as early as I could tolerate and headed in to D.C. via the train. That was fun in and of itself of course. We saw and did so much..
-Admired Union Station
-U.S. Capitol
-Smithsonian Air and Space Museum where we focused on the and the "How Things Fly" hands on room, "Exploring the Planets" room, and the "Wright Brothers"room. Laura reminded me to get the kids dehydrated astronaut ice cream!
-National Gallery of Art where we, um... saw art, had lunch in the cafe, and I took a picture of the kids in front of a fountain Mom took a picture of me and my siblings in front of when I was around their age.
-Washington Monument
-WW II Memorial where we found all the states we have lived and will live.
-Lincoln Memorial where we watched a school from Newark, NJ recite Martin Luther King Jr.'s Civil Rights March speech. It was so moving! I love when little, unexpected things happen like that.
-Korean War Veterans Memorial
-The White House (in the distance)
-and the Spy Museum.
We were soooooo tired since I was too cheap to pay for a trolley! A quick grocery shop after getting back on the train and we enjoyed a late dinner with Veronica before hittin' the hay.
Such a fun-filled day!!! The weather was PERFECT. warm and slightly overcast. Could not have ordered better weather.
