Becca was asked to be a brides maid at her college roommates wedding in Pennsylvania so we all went. While there, we decided to visit our nations capital. Kinda weird: when people ask where you are from on the east coast and you respond, "Washington" everybody assumes you mean DC. Anyway, we got there in the afternoon and set out on foot to see a few of the Smithsonian museums. I wondered if most people know the significance of the Nauvoo Sunstone when they see it.
Evan really liked all the airplanes at the Air and Space museum. He was running non stop. In the photo above, he's looking at an airplane suspended from the ceiling.
After about 2 miles of walking Evan found the highlight of our little excursion. This small water feature next to the Washington Memorial provided a refreshing diversion for Evan. In a matter of seconds he was soaked. Sadly we still had to walk about a mile to get back to our hotel. About two blocks to go, he sat down on the side walk and could go no further. So daddy got a little wet too as he carried his sopping wet son. Evan was quite the trooper. He slept well that night.
We took a little stroll at Arlington Cemetery. We hardly saw even an 1/8th of it's entirety. It was humbling to look at the names of people that served the country. Question: If you take a picture at a cemetery, should you smile? I was unsure.
Our hotel was right across the street from the Department of Education building and all their entrances look like this. We couldn't resist the photo op.
