Washington, DC

Jon's mom travels quite a bit for work. Lucky for us, she comes out east on a pretty regular basis. Sunday was one of those times. She just happened to be down in Washington, DC, and we just happen to live a short driving distance from there. It actually ended up being a 2.5 hour drive, but so worth it for a little adventure.

We arrived in DC at 11:00am, and immediately decided to explore the Georgetown area. It's super cute with lots of little shops and restaurants. The sidewalks are all brick, and the houses are beautifully maintained. We walked around, ate lunch, and then headed to Kriss' hotel so the kids could take naps.

After nap time, we drove down to the main Washington, DC attractions. We saw the White House, the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, and many other cool buildings.

My little girl at the White House!

 I don't remember most of the buildings, but they are all so beautiful that I had to post the pictures!

 The Washington Monument.

Unfortunately, it's being renovated and is covered in scaffolding.

The front of the White House.

 I think this is the Department of Treasury.

 I can't remember this one either, but it was right next door to the White House.

 I had to take a picture of Jon's favorite president's building.

The Ronald Reagan Building.

 The capitol.

The Lincoln Memorial.

It was so fun to see Grandma Kriss for the day, and DC is a cool city. I hope we can get back there again before we are done out here!
