RoAd TRiP!!

Andy had a 4 day weekend, so we decided to take a little vacation to Washington DC with some friends. Although the trip was fun, it isn't the best place to go with toddlers. It was SO hot, and we had to walk a TON. We were all exhausted by the end of the first day.  I couldn't believe how beautiful it is there in the spring time. Just gorgeous.

Andy and the kids at the Natural history museum
The fam in front if the capitol building
and the Washington Monument
Avery taking a break outside of the Air and Space Museum

The kids feeding the ducks in front of the Capitol. This is as close as we got to the Capitol. It didn't seem that far away, but we kept walking and walking and walking and we just didn't have enough steam left to go the rest of the way
Andy's cousin Tyler and his cute wife Allison showed us around old town Alexandria. This was probably my favorite part of the trip. Virginia is Beautiful! Here we are in front of the
 Potomac River

On the way back home we spent a day in Pittsburgh. We took this little tram thingy up Mt Washington and had an amazing view of downtown

Oh how fun! DC is SO wonderful in the spring! Looks like you guys had fun but yes DC requires a LOT of walking, I don't think I've ever walked all the way from one end of the Mall to the other. Props to you for even trying! Looks like you must be feeling better too, I'm so glad.

Glad you got to escape on a road trip. Isn't DC beautiful? I love it and all the museums, festivals, ect. I just feel so patriotic when I'm down there!

I've always wanted to go to DC. So it was tough with the kids? That last picture is pretty cool. Oh, as far as my pics go, I've just been messing around more and trying to figure other stuff out. I still want to find a workshop in the future. I'm not sure about a business, still a hobby, just need somewhere else to post pics. I have just been using fabric hung over a shower curtain rod, clipped with hair clamps. It works :) Hope you are feeling better.
