Washington to Washington

My parents came to visit us last week and the kids and I got to show them around DC. We packed a lot of things in and didn't even scratch the surface. They just have to keep coming back to see more! The weather was perfect while they were here, most of the time we were in short sleeve shirts...it was awesome

Monday we went to Arlington National Cemetery. We did the tour bus that drops us off at the major spots there. This was at the tomb of the unknown soldier, which is guarded 24/7. I am fascinated each time by the changing of the guard.

Tuesday we hit the air and space museum...my dad could have spent the entire week here.

We also went to the archives building on Tuesday, but didn't get pictures there.

Wednesday we did the monuments/memorials. This is at the World War II memorial.

We went to the top of the Washington Monument

The Lincoln Memorial

Reflecting at the reflecting pool

The Jefferson Memorial

FDR Memorial

Dorothy's ruby red slippers from the Wizard of Oz

We also went to the crime and punishment museum, which was a lot of fun.

Before mom and dad left we went and picked out pumpkins.

Thanks for coming to see us mom and dad. We love you and want you to come back already!!!
