Washington DC - Day 5

Day five we went to Ford's Theatre, the Washington DC temple and we bought Red Velvet cupcakes (yummy!)

The gun that shot Lincoln.

The box the Lincoln was killed in.

Yummy cupcakes!

Washington DC temple.  A little bit of a drive but gorgeous!

We were so sad to say good-bye to Dad and Caitlan but we were so glad they were able to come hang out with us!

Washington DC - Day 4

Day four we did WAY too much!  Mt. Vernon, Arlington, the White House, and then the monuments.  We barely made it onto the last metro back to the hotel.

Mt. Vernon was gorgeous!  

The tomb of George Washington.

Washington DC - Day 3

Day three was the Holocaust Museum (amazing!), Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and the National Air and Space Museum.

Holocaust Museum..this was amazing and so sad!  Definitely worth seeing.

Washington DC - Day 2

The second day we went to the US Capitol, Library of Congress, and the National Museum of American History.  The National Museum of American History was definitely one of my favorites, there was so much cool stuff inside!

Washington DC - Day 1

We recently drove to Washington DC to spend a week there exploring the sites.  My dad and Caitlan flew out to have fun with us!  The first day we went to the National Gallery of Art, Museum of Natural History, and the National Archives.  Sorry for the multiple posts but I had about 550 photos I had to pick from!

Happy baby!  We got many of these smiles after we took him out of his car seat after the ten hour drive!

Rick wasn't too impressed with this "art".

Ethan sitting on a meteor.

Caitlan trying to compare her leg to a dinosaur.  I think the dinosaur wins.

Caitlan and I at the top of the stairs to the National Archives.  It was so cool to see the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

Waiting at the Metro station.  We took the metro everywhere, which worked out pretty well.  We had it down by the end of the week.
