What a beautiful trip!
Washington DC is definitely one of my favorite cities.
We were able to do just about everything on our list...
just about everything...
don't mistake that for everything.
Madelyn was such a trooper.
I think her favorite was just being outdoors so much and the children's reading room at the Library of Congress.
I'm not sure if I had a favorite.
I loved experiencing it all.
Our 10 hour drive to DC.
Really wasn't a bad drive.
M was an excellent car rider.
We are almost there!
After checking into the JW Marriott which was an excellent location
for a hotel in DC we walked around DC.
First stop was National Archives.
We also dropped by the National Mall Carousel.
So glad I made Matt ride it.
This one went pretty fast and I definitely would have been sick!
Smithsonian Museum of Natural History
Beautiful place to run and play!
Checking out the views from the Washington Monument.
The White House
This girls first subway ride.
'the train' she called it.
And she loved it.
Day 2.
A visit to the Library of Congress
This is M chilling in the children's area.
We could have spent the day here.
She loved it.
They also do a really great storytime.
The Capital
Helping to cool her daddy off in front of the Capital.
Snack Break!
Such a great little lady for this trip!
Driving an airplane at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum.
Arlington National Cemetery
We were able to witness the switching of the guards
at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier as the cemetery was closing.
This was a really neat experience.
Lincoln Monument
View from the Lincoln Monument
I definitely want to go back to DC when Madelyn is older and learning about
some of these things in school. We had a great mini trip and now we are off to Seneca Lake
to finish the rest of our vacation!
