Photos of Washington D.C.

Kids in front of the White House

I thought I’d share some of my trip photos today. We drove back from New York yesterday after spending time with a college friend, and needless to say, it’s been tiring but fun. Here’s a photo of the kids in front of the White House and another of us in front of the Lincoln Memorial.

This is the kids in front of the Washington Monument. My son desperately wanted to go up to the top of it, but I told him that would be another trip.

I had never visited the new World War II Memorial in D.C. It’s located between the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial, and it’s really beautiful. Here are some photos of it:

   Wow, you really did do the touristy thing with the kids! Are you all just exhausted? What a great learning experience for the kids though.

   Great photos. Thanks for sharing. And the weather looks perfect for doing the tourist thing (says this girl huddled in the house to stay out of the POURING rain).

   Your kids looks like they’re having fun!
