Dado and Nonna moved to Washington, DC about a year ago and we finally made it for a trip! It just so happened that I needed training for work that was in Fredericksburg, VA, only about an hour away from Dad and Susie's apartment. Back in the spring, we came up with the plan that Dado and Nonna could watch the kids while I was in training for 3 days and then Michael could fly over and join us to sight see in D.C. for a week. Then, the plan got even better when Aunt Sissy and Uncle Jesse decided to join us and I got to spend time with the sweetest niece in the world!
While we were there we did A TON including:
Dado and Nonna took the kids to the National Zoo
The boys went to a Redskins game
We did all the monuments..Washington, Lincoln Memorials, Korean War Memorial, Vietnam Wall
Spent a day at Arlington Cemetery
Went to a Nationals Game
White House
National History Museum
American History Museum
Ate cupcakes from DC Cupcakes, totally over priced but WAYYYY good!
Ate lunch at Mt. Vernon
And of course, lots of shopping at markets and the Potomac Mills shopping mall.
We had this really cool apartment to stay in was in the same building as Dad and Susie's apartment so we didn't have to stay in a hotel. It was very nice and homey and we got lots of quality family time in. This trip was a very busy one but we created priceless memories. The funniest thing that happened was Olivia busted out with her "flag of America" song on the way to the Lincoln memorial. We had never heard this song before but she had heard it at school and I guess all of the American History prompted her to sing it! She also said the pledge of allegiance.
We also had 3 strollers which was pretty funny considering we rode the subway pretty much everywhere we went. We were definitely a caravan of strollers and children all over DC!
