summer vacation

We manged to squeeze in a family vacation right before school started and went to D.C. It was very educational, even thought we were there for 5 days and only got to see maybe a fourth of the museums. I've learned that with every trip we learn our way around and the next time we go it will be less crazy. Here's a quick tour of what we got to see and do...

Riding down the escalator at the Rosslyn Metro Station on our way to go the main mall.

The Air and Space Smithsonian Museum

Lunch at McD's at the Air & Space Museum

Entrance of the A&S Museum

At the top of the National Archives. We did get to view the Declaration of Independence and Constitution but no pictures were allowed inside.

Smithsonian Museum of Natural History

The Executive Building was right next to the White House and it's huge!
