Washington D.C.

We have been in D.C. for the last two days and are exhausted. It has been a jam-packed visit and very hot and humid outside. Through it all the kids have been unbelievable. They napped in their strollers and handled the hustle and bustle really well. Each day we spent around nine hours touring the sites of the area. Here's a list of where we've been or what we've seen and some pictures as well: Day 1 - Washington Monument, World War II Memorial, Korean War Memorial, Vietnam War Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, and the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. We also went to Arlington Cemetery and visited the grave site of JFK and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers. Day - 2 We took a tour of the Capitol building and also toured the National Holocaust Museum. We ended our day outside of the White House. We were disappointed that the Museum of American History is still closed for renovation, but we still had a great time. Tomorrow we head for Pennsylvania to visit my family. We will stop at Gettysburg on the way to my Oma's house.

Hi Kerrie! I think we're going to try to follow your itinerary. It looks like you had a lot of fun. It IS hot out here, isn't it? And humid!
