Whew! it was a busy 3 days. As a spring getaway we went to Washington, DC for 3 days. Rob assures me he will never return to the crowded, busy city so I better see everything I wanted on this trip. I sure did try!!!
There is a slide show of all of our adventures and here is what I was able to cram in.....Arlington National Cemetery, a bus tour around the mall and museum area, Washington Monument, World War II Memorial, Vietnam Wall (my Dad's cousin Theodore Misheikis, Jr is memorialized there), Lincoln Memorial, dinner out with the Spragg's (Rob's aunt, uncle & cousins), Boy Scout Statue, White House (although our request for a tour was denied), Albert Einstein Monument (Yes, Nick had to pick his nose and yes this statue is the only one in DC where kids are encouraged to climb all over it), Air & Space Museum, National Gallery of Art, National Archives (although I was the only one to actually see the Constitution, Bill of Rights and Declaration of Independence...Rob & the kids couldn't face another crowd), Natural History Museum, American History Museum, National Zoo (I had to make sure the kids saw the Pandas) and then the Air & Space Museum in VA (complete with a Space Shuttle...wow is that huge!)
Obviously, we didn't see all of any of the above and it probably only encouraged me to want to return for another adventure but we all survived and we were able to see alot of cool places. Since we never made it to the International Spy Museum maybe I can convince the kids to return with me someday.
