Washington, D.C.

We went to Washington, D.C. for a conference and were lucky enough to be there during the Cherry Blossom Festival....all the trees looked AMAZING...by the end of the first day Doug was laughing at me taking so many pictures....I won't bore you with all the pictures...but, I will share some of them....The kids LOVED the Cherry Blossom trees....it was so fun to watch them play...Audrey LOVED it....I Just LOVE this boy.....can you tell he was sick of taking pictures??? He was a good sport though...We walked for miles and miles and saw so many things.....and had the BEST tour guide...since Debbie lives there she knew how to get around and where to go...it was sooooo FUN!

Trying to be the monument....
Debbie's favorite......

The Museum of Air and Space...these two boys were in heaven...and since Doug is soooo smart...he was able to explain the law of physics to me...Debbie had bought a kite at the dollar store and taught Audrey how to fly it....they got it way up there...can you see the dot? Audrey loved it and Debbie was so cute!One day we went to Alexandria...it was such a cute little town...we took a ferry there and enjoyed walking around...
We went to this fun restaurant....the kids were exhausted...but, we were still able to enjoy a nice dinner....
Another night we were able to sit at this park by the airport and watch the planes fly right over our head...Evan didn't like the noise (he is on the right covering his ears)....but, everyone enjoyed the pizza and soda....(Audrey, Nathan, and Evan below)
especially Audrey....look at that face!

Wow! What great timing with the cherry blossoms! They don't last very long, isn't that right? You're so lucky you were able to be there at the same time, what a great trip!
