Monday- Happy Halloween!!
Today we (all of us excluding Steve. He had to work all week) played tourist... we started at the Capitol Building where we took a tour. It was amazing!
We were even able to find two of my grandfathers statues and
take a few pictures.
From there, we headed to the Botanical Gardens. It was beautiful!

In the Gardens...
By this time... we were all starving. We headed to the American Indian Museum to eat and take a look around their first floor. The food was a little different but we were all able to find something we could enjoy.
Walking to lunch...
Aydin had to get a picture in front of the Hawaiian canoe
We then took a walk over to the African American Museum. They had some amazing art in there but could not take any pictures because they did not own their art.
Walking to a taxi... took a few more pictures...
We then came home and got ready for trick or treating in the mall. Morgan was Frankie Stein from the Monster High (Barbie type dolls) and Aydin was 'too' cool for a costume this year and went as a GA Bulldog football player.
Once we go to the shuttle, loaded in... Liam threw up.... Poor little guy missed his first time being able to enjoy walking and getting candy. As much as I felt bad for him... I was bummed because he looked so stinking cute in his bird costume!!
Mom stayed behind to bathe Liam and let him rest while I took the kids out for some candy. What a great idea it was to go to the mall. They got a ton of candy and didnt even have to freeze while doing it.
Tuesday we got up and went to check out the white house and walk around some more. We started out at the National Archives Museum (no photography allowed there either) and then walked over to the White House.
In line at the National Archives...

We got home a bit earlier today and hung around until Steve got off work. Gene and Kathy drove up for Richmond, VA and we all went out to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory.
The kids were so tired at dinner: they fell asleep at the table:
It was so nice to have Gene and Kathy come up to say hello to Steve.
