Washington D.C.

Since Mark and I have always wanted to go to Washington D.C. and we figured we'd never be this childless and this close to it again, we should take the opportunity to tour our nation's capitol! If you've ever been to D.C. you know that it is a walker's paradise. We walked distances that would make the pioneer children sing songs about us. Those places along the journey include the National Gallery of Art, the Museum of American History, Natural History Museum, Holocaust Memorial (go there if you're ever feeling too happy about life), the National Zoo, Arlington Cemetery, Memorials (Lincoln, Washington, WWII, Korean, Vietnam), the U.S. Postal Museum, the Botanic Gardens, Capitol Building, White House, National Archives, Ford's Theatre/House where Lincoln died, Mount Vernon, Washington D.C. Temple, the White House, and many rides on the fabulous D.C. Metro! Even with all those cool things, my favorite part was this breakfast buffet we had every morning at our hotel. I still dream about it sometimes.
