DC - Day 2
Well everyone was feeling better and the rain stopped so we set out early on foot day 2. Because of this we were able to cover a lot of ground in a day. First thing in the morning we went down to the White House and then the Monuments. You can see what a beautiful day it was for walking and taking pictures. The whole Mall is just gorgeous and the way it is designed, all you can see is monuments for miles.
Throughout the morning we talked about all of the Presidents (Richie knows the first 8 by heart!) and what each of the buildings meant. We even saw Barack Obama take off in his helicopter from the White House lawn! Richie was pretty impressed with the size of his house, but the when he saw he had a helicopter that picked him up at his house.......well he may be his new favorite person!
In the afternoon cousin Colleen came in from Richmond to meet us. We checked out the Museum of Natural History with her (another MUST see). Life sized animals and dinosaurs....it is just amazing. The kids cooperated again and napped at the same time in the stroller so the adults could check out a second museum. This one I felt bad about because the Museum of American History was another favorite and I think the kids would have enjoyed it.
That evening the boys and girls split up. Chris realized that the Bruins were in town so they headed to the Verizon Center for the Bruins/Capitols game. While they were out, the girls went out for a fancy dinner and drinks!
