First Trip to D.C.


We decided to take the kids out of school for a new days in November for a quick trip to Washington, D.C., with Wayne and Phyllis. We only had 2 full days in D.C., so we hit the highlights on the kids' first trip to the there. We started with a quick trip through the National Archives to see the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights. 


The next stop was the Museum of Natural History. Both kids loved this museum, and it's one of my favorites too. Nate was fascinated by all the bones, and Ashley could have spent all day looking at the  rocks and gemstones.






The next stop was the first of two trips Museum of American History. Nathan was fascinated buy the WWII exhibits, and Pop showed us where he was sent during the Vietnam War. We also saw the original Star Spangled Banner.



We ended the day by walking down to the Washington monument before catching the subway back to our hotel.
