We've been to Washington, D.C. twice this summer and I haven't gotten sick of it yet! I took the kids in August when my sister was here. We spent one full day at the National Mall and saw as much as we could. It was so HOT, but the kids were troopers.
We went again just a couple of weeks ago. My mom and step-dad came out for vacation and we met them in Washington. We stayed with my step-sis Melissa and her sweet family. This time we had 2 full days and got to see a lot more!
We all had a great time. It's so fun living this close to our nation's capital. The museums are so fun and exciting to visit. But I love the history the most. Just knowing what has taken place there and how our country runs from this place is very intriguing to me. When the kids are older, we might be able to go and visit some of the more historical sites where you have to read a lot. But for now, the history we get is exciting and we are only 4 hours away!
Here are some pictures from our trip earlier this month. We saw the Museum of American History, the Archives, the Petersen Home (where Abraham Lincoln was taken after being shot in the Ford's theater and also where he died), and the Naval Memorial. We also took a tour bus around all of the area. We saw some great stuff from the top of the bus. Fun!
