DC Day 4

It was a day to explore DC! We took two cars to the city (the rental was a little smelly, so we used coconut scented sunblock to help...) and tried to see as much as possible.

This will mostly be pictures. They can say things so much better than I can:

This first greeted us on the sidewalk.

We swear we saw the President on the balcony. He waved!

My excitement: almost contained.

Smithsonian: Museum of American History

No cameras were allowed inside, but this was my absolute favorite exhibit: The Star Spangled Banner.

The men went to a History of American Wars exhibit, the women went to the exhibit of First Ladies.

Driving past the Pentagon; this is the side, the freeway side, that was hit on 9/11 and repaired.

We were all tired at the end of it, but it was a great day full of fabulous sights! After Katelyn went to bed, the boys played some Supreme Commander and such, and the girls stayed up talking and playing games and got very silly and giggly. We all stayed up late and enjoyed every minute!
