DC Trip: Day 1

We're hoping our time in the east is starting to come to an end.  This is a bittersweet thought, because of this we decided to use some of our remaining vacation time to explore the east.  At the end of May we ventured over to Washington DC.  We were very lucky that my cousin, Brian, who's doing his residency in DC was willing to let us bombard him for a couple of days.  We had such a great time catching up with him!

 Day One of our adventure we headed first to the Natural History Smithsonian.  The kids espeically liked seeing the animals.

skeletons,

 and the mummies.

 Do you think we look like crazy tourists?!

 Washington Monument

 When we tried to walk by the White House everything was blocked off because someone was leaving by helicopter.

 Jaxson is really into the bunny ears thing, it's hilarious. :)

 Vietnam Veterans Memorial

 Lincoln Memorial

 This is what the girls thought of Lincoln,

 and this is our Jaxson at his best.

 Our three cuties

 the Jefferson Memorial

 It was a hot and busy day, filled with lots of walking but we loved it.  The kids did well overall and Keith and I really enjoyed seeing the sites.
