A Morning in D.C.

One of the reasons I have been so busy and not been blogging is because we had company! My oldest brother, Ron, his wife, Nancy and our niece Ellen were here for a visit. They stayed through Easter and we had a great visit. The Saturday before Easter we spent the morning in Washington D.C. and I put together this photo montage of our day. Ellen is the only kid in her class that had ever been to Washington D.C. so she was excited to go back and see some of the attractions. I'm sure they would have got to see a lot more if it wasn't for me and by boys in tow but I think we had an enjoyable time nonetheless.

As you will see in the montage, we visited the steps of the Capital Building (we would have had a good long wait to get in most likely due to the fact that my boys and I were a lil slow moving that morning). Then we went to the National Botanical Gardens which none of us had ever been to. It was really quite lovely and warmed us all up before we stepped back into the cool air.

Then we drove closer to the Lincoln Memorial which was Ellen's one request to see. So, we were able to see the Vietnam Memorial, Women's Vietnam Memorial as well as the Lincoln Memorial while we were on that end of the national mall. By that time my boys were getting a lil restless and it was getting close to lunchtime. Overall, I think it was a nice visit into the district. We were back at our house around 1:30.

I have other photos from their visit to post but thought I'd get this posted for now.
