Washington DC

Our trip to Washington DC was fabulous!!! I cant wait to go back. I cant believe I have lived on the East coast for over 6 years and made my first trip just last week. Steve has never wanted to go to DC so since he is not here and the kids had spring break, we drove up to see the city and spend time with our great friends Monica and her husband Brad.

WOW- I never thought we would be walking so much!! Thursday morning we got up early and headed into the city. We went to the Air and Space Museum first- the kids spent more than 2 hours there. It was awesome. I think we could have been there all day!!

From the Air and Space Museum, we walked to the Capitol Building. I would have loved to see some of my grandfathers statues that are inside the building- but there was a 2 hour wait to get in for a tour and the kids were not having it. So- next time!!

The Cherry Blossom trees were my favorite- The city was filled with these trees... and Morgan loved that they were pink :)



We then went to the American History Museum and then to the Natural History Museum. Both of these were very interesting. I wish we had weeks- thats how long it would take to see everything!!


Friday morning we got up and went to the Monument. The kids ate donuts in front and thought this was awesome.


We then walked to the Lincoln Memorial- very cool. The kids loved this.


From there- we went to the aquarium... not worth the time- I would have done something else had I known how small it was- but the kids loved it.

We then walked to the White House- took a few pictures and then left. Not much to see :).

From the White House- we got in the car and drove to the Washington DC LDS temple. It was beautiful. I had been wanting to see this for a while. It was also very cool to see because the statue on top- the Angel Moroni, was done by my grandfather.

DC was amazing!! I am so glad we took this trip and went to everything we wanted to. I hope you liked the pictures.
