DC

Alright seriously, people....I need to figure out a quicker way to blog or I'm never going to keep up with this thing. Ok, so on with the post. My in-laws came to visit us last week. We were super excited to have them visit. Thursday we decided to make a trip to Washington DC. I have never been to DC before, so I was really excited to see it. It takes us about 3 hours to get there from our house, so we got an early start. Just a heads up....don't go to DC if there's a baseball game. We drove around the suburbs for somewhere between 2 to 3 hours trying to find a Metro station with open parking spaces so we could ride into the city. So our plan to get there around 10am didn't quite work...we got there around 1pm instead. But, after that adventure the day turned out to be pretty fun. We, of course, got no where near close to seeing everything, but we got to see some of the Air and Space Museum, Natural History Museum, and theAmerican History Museum....and got to see the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, the WW2 Memorial, the Korean War Memorial, and the Vietnam War Memorial. We walked approximately 6 miles and had no strollers. A stroller would have made the walking a little more enjoyable with the 3 kiddies, but I must say, for them doing THAT much walking, they did very well. All in all, it was a fun day. Here's some highlights...(WARNING...LOTS of pictures)...

Austin took a little nap...he took half of it on Pappy, and half of it on Daddy...

On the Metro (that we finally found parking to be able to ride on)...

Daniel wasn't really asleep, but he wanted to mimic Pappy's every move...

I loved this picture with the Washington Monument in the background...

And here would be the kids about 3 minutes after we ate dinner (at Longhorn I might add...oh, yum)...

They were worn out! All in all, they did great with all that walking. My hips and legs did hurt for about 3 days following our adventure, but it was worth it. We plan to make lots of day trips to DC so we can eventually see everything!
