Washington, D.C. (Part 2)


    • Gems from the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History- Amazing!!
    • The Hope Diamond!!^
    • Virginia Beach- 3 days, Sitting in a heartshaped hot tub, munching Pringles, and looking out over the ocean from the balcony of our hotel room!!! We had a great time in the ocean, and walking along the beach at night, or waking up at 6 to watch the sunrise and collect shells........so amazing!

    Washington, D.C.


    Flowers Jefferson Memorial Lincoln Memorial

    Hey, everybody!!! Annie and I just got back from an amazing trip to D.C. with our grandparents!! We saw some amazing things, and learned a lot!! Some of our favorites were:


    • The Washington Monument- we got to ride an elevator up to the top!

    • The National Cathedral- amazing! We got to hear a London choir sing hymns!!

    • The National Archives- we saw the original Constitution and Declaration!!


    • The Federal Bureau of Printing and Engraving- we saw them making big sheets of money!!


    • The Capitol Building- We got a special, private tour from an intern from Senator Pat Robert's office!! We also got to sit in a special gallery above the House of Representatives while they were in session!! It was so cool to actually see them in real life, arguing and making laws!!
