On August 13, we drove to Washingon D.C. (well, Mike drove!), for a fun-filled, BUSY weekend. Cousin Jimmy was so nice and let us stay at his lovely home for three nights; each day we drove into downtown D.C. and had a blast. Lots of walking! (I didn't realize I couldn't turn pictures once they were imported onto the blog...sorry! You'll have to turn your head for now! I'm still learning!)
G taking a break in the shade - the weather was HOT!!!
We went to several Smithsonian Museums to find the artifacts used in Night at the Museum II. Here's Olivia with the Easter Island "Dumb-Dumb" statue from the movie!
And of course...Dorothy's ruby red slippers!
Here we are at the Lincoln Memorial.
Future photographer!
The girls took their own cameras and got lots of great shots of the city!
We HAD to stop for a snack at the Hard Rock Cafe,
where we saw Michael Jackson's leather jacket!
One of our favorite places to visit was Ford's Theater, where President Lincoln was shot.
The girls were really fascinated by seeing a pillow that still shows blood stains from his actual wounds.
Getting photos of the White House - no Obama sighting!
Mike and the girls in front of the Washington Monument. We got to go to the top because some friendly lady shared her extra tickets with us. The view of the city from the top is beautiful and we highly recommend it!
