A Few of Our Favorite Moments From Washington D.C.


Seeing the real Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights
(The photos weren't great due to low light and no flashes)

Just playing around or 3 kids' personal opinions of the current administration?
(Honestly, this photo was completely unrigged)

Another surprise encounter with R2D2! Who knew he works for the US Postal Service?

A rare moment with all three boys sitting on the steps
of the Lincoln Memorial looking out over the reflecting pool and Washington Monument.

Jack's favorite president.
He was very interested in seeing Ford's Theatre, the place where Lincoln was shot,
and the house across the street where he later died.
Lincoln's portrait in the American Presidents
Gallery of the National Portrait Museum was also his favorite.

Hanging out with Aunt Laura, of course!

Seeing the panda at the National Zoo
And lots of just plain ol' clowning around

We came and we saw

By far the highlight of our trip to Washington, D.C. has been seeing THE REAL C3PO and R2D2 from the movie Star Wars. David and I thought we were going to have to drag the boys away from them, but they did leave willingly after a long, long time. We've also enjoyed the pool, a Nationals baseball game, the memorials, natural history and air and space museums. And the boys are now old pros at public transportation. Tomorrow's itinerary: the National Zoo and the aquarium.
