Hi all! We left DC today and are now in Williamsburg VA. This was our family's first time in DC and we loved it! We have learned so much. We stayed busy for 3 solid days and still didnt even come close to seeing everything. What rich history we have experienced. We stayed in this awesome 4 star hotel called the Omni Shoreham. We got it at a great deal on priceline and it was close to the metro and everything else we needed. The metro was quite an experience for us...it took some time to get use to the metro..DC is so busy! We were really looking forward to seeing the Smithsonian American History museum but it is still closed for renovations. Here is a list of some of the things we were able to see.
Smithsonian Zoo
Lincoln Memorial
Union Station
Washington Monument
Library of Congress
Capitol
Air and Space museum
Bureau of Engraving and Printing
Smithsonian museum of natural science
Holocaust Museum
I think there was more but it is late and I can't remember. I will post about Colonial Williamsburg after our experience.

Cute pics! Looks like a blast! I'm glad the hotel worked out for you guys. So how many field trips worth did you guys get?

How great!! I'm glad you guys are getting to experience the DC! Your kids are so into history and facts...this trip will be all they talk about for several weeks!
That looks like so much fun. Jeremy and I have talked about going there so many times. One day.... I enjoyed looking at your slide show too. Your kids obviously had a terrific time. =) Love you guys.

Oh this brings back so many memories! DC was one of my favorite trips we ever have taken! I'm so glad you got to experience it to the max! Being close to the metro is a great bonus!
When we were there, Rob was in class and I got my double stroller and the two older ones on the metro by myself and always felt totally safe. A little insane, but totally safe! ;)
hey that looks really cool im glad yall had fun i missed yall
Lincoln Memorial alone would be worth the trip for me! How exciting!
Don't you just love it??? Everyone thinks I'm crazy when I tell them how much fun D.C. was when Tristan and I went but it's the truth! Absolutely gorgeous. Mom and Dad went earlier this year for the National Prayer Breakfast and fell in love with it also. They were with my Aunt and Uncle so they really got the fun tour! I was so jealous!!
I am so glad you got to go on such a fabulous trip! What a learning experience. Everyone looks so happy.
What a gorgeous family. I saw your bid on Daleea's auction. Truly, what an amazing gift. Your daughter will look gorgeous in that outfit.
Tina, you seriously need to update this blog.....what about Sophie's birthday?....and I want to hear all about the quizzing on Saturday. UPDATES, UPDATES, UPDATES!! =)
Love you and miss you guys!
