Washington DC

After camp on Friday afternoon Cait, Mom, and I packed up the little boys for a weekend trip to Washington DC while the big boys had a weekend full of golf, poker, and yummy food!

and we're off... Smithsonian here we come!

 My little tourist..... He was amazed at all the parking meters around, this country boy does not see too many of these at home.

"Ahhhhhhhhh"....inside the mouth of a great white shark

Checking out all the animals.... Brooks' favorite was the humongous titan boa, it was as long as a school bus!

"dum dum give me gum gum"

 The butterfly garden was so much fun!!

The Air and Space Museum.... 3..2..1.. Blast-off!

The United States Capitol

The White House

The Washington Monument was Brooks' favorite.... he could not believe that you could see it from every part of the city.

The Jefferson Memorial

The Lincoln Memorial

FDR Memorial

Iowa Jima

Day 2:

We saw the city via metro...the boys loved riding "underground." 

 

First Stop...... Arlington National Cemetery

The Changing of the Guards

 My two little monkeys at the National Zoo!

The boys were completely worn out after an awesome weekend... we went to the Museum of Natural History, The Air and Space Museum, walked around the mall and saw the Capitol, did a night tour of all the monuments and memorials, paid our respects at Arlington National Cemetery, and went to the National Zoo!! We had so much fun and the boys were SO good...Brooks is already planning our next trip back :)
