Weekend in Washington

Looking back on our day in Washington, D.C., you'd think we were there for 17 hours. In reality, we could only handle about 3.



We visited all the places we wanted to. First stop, the White House. Thank you to the kind stranger who snapped our picture. Too bad, she didn't get the money shot. Had she panned left, she would have seen this:



Tourists were everywhere, staking their claim on a piece of wrought-iron fence in front of George W. Bush's house. This is the boys' spot.



We enjoyed a visit to the Washington National Monument, but decided to pass on the climb up a billion stairs.



By this time, the children were getting a bit tired of posing for photos. Can you tell?



We decided it was time to visit the Museum of Natural History, a favorite stop for schoolchildren.



It may be difficult for you to tell, but the boys didn't really appreciate the amazing animals on display. They were too busy being a part of the show.



This just may have been the favorite part of the trip. In fact, I know it was. The Metro ride still elicits smiles from Jason and Michael, who want to know when we can ride again. I told them probably not for many, many years. This trip was tiring enough!
