Washington, DC

The White House
The Vietnam Wall








World War II Memorial. Reflecting Pool

































Washington was interesting. Trent cried the whole way there, it was in the 80's then pouring and cold. We were lost and walking around in the heat and exhausted. Dinner never happened before 7 and we all know how we get when we're hungry!!!!
















This picture is us at the zoo. Trent slept through all the cool stuff, but we saw pandas, elephants, hippos, zebras all cool stuff. This was our first day there.

















This is day two. Our six plus miles of walking in 85 degree weather. But the kids did better than I expected. Did I mention the Pope was in DC at the same time as us, so were 15 different 8th grade classes. Yes, I do suck at time managment.








We also went to the Natural History Museum this day and Trent had his first caroseul ride. Yes I'm feeding him to a Hippo!





















































It was good to be away but I am very happy we are home.

Vacation is always that way-great to look forward to, exciting to experience, and exhausting to execute. There's truly no place like home!

Glad you had fun and got to see so many cool things. We'll have to do that trip next time we're back east, after this year's trip, of course.

Sean looks very rugged with the facial hair. Nice mountain man look! Great pictures!
