Here is our trip, with as little commentary as I could stand.
View from our hotel room:
Smithsonian American Art Museum:
"THE" George Washington portrait on the dollar bill.
Meghan's Great great great......grandfather: Zachary Taylor (Zachary Tye's Great great great great...grandfather)
Mom's first trip to DC and first ride on the Metro:
China Town:
Air Force Memorial: "Go Meghan"
US Capitol: can you tell my mom was excited to visit DC for the first time?
Smithsonian Castle: Did you know that Mr. Smithson never visited the US until after he died (His body is actually inside the castle in a tomb on display), yet he donated his estate to us to make the Smithsonian Museums?
Bureau of Engraving and Printing: So that's what 300 million dollars smells like! They were printing $100 bills while we were there, so there were palates of ~300 million dollars just sitting there. Now I know what my salary looks like in $100 bills! Half of our money is made here. The other half is made in Ft. Worth.
Union Station:
Supreme Court: Did you know that you don't have to be lawyer to be a supreme court judge?
Library of Congress:
WWII memorial: very cool place.
Washington Monument:
From the steps of the Lincoln Memorial
Lincoln Memorial:

Old Ebbitt Grill: if you ever visit DC, you have to eat here!
Our good friend Tara and her friend Michael joined us. They ran in the MCM with us.
National Archives: Where the actual copies of Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights are. Reminds me of National Treasure!

OK, enough museums for one trip.

Thank you for giving me a trip to DC! I've always wanted to go. I think we are going to wait until the boys are older. Looks like y'all had a wonderful time!
You and Megan are just as cute as ever! May God continue to bless you and your sweet family!
Love the pictures- makes me want to go on a trip. I guess it will be a while before Ken and I can do that! :) Hope all is well.
Great pictures! Makes me want to go back there. How did Meghan's interview at CNMC go?
