July 2008 - A Day in Washington DC

Our kind friends Erin & Carey and their 2 kids Ander & Hadyn were kind enough to be our hosts and tour guides during our stay in the Washington DC area. Our day started off with a ride on the Metro. The kids loved being together!

First stop - The White House

Erin made a great suggestion, to view the city from the Old Post Office Tower. It is an AMAZING way to see the whole city!

Here is the view of the Capitol from the Old Post Office Tower

Pass by the Washington Monument

The Smithsonian - we went to the Air & Space Museum

Final Stop - The Jefferson Memorial

The kids found some great sticks to play with at the Jefferson Memorial. Nicole and Ander were such troopers about walking all day long. I was glad that they got to take a break!

We decided to have dinner in DC, but trying to find a restaurant without a lengthy wait proved difficult. Carey did us proud and found a great little place, but here is a picture of the tired crowd

We had a great time, DC is an amazing city. Thanks Carey, Erin, Ander & Hadyn for being so hospitable!!
