Washington DC - Part 1

We made out maiden voyage to Washington DC last weekend and had a great time. It's a nice 4 hour drive through the Virginia countryside.

The girls were very excited to see where the President lives - Adelle loved the "waterfall" out front.





Here we are at the base of the Washington monument looking over the reflection pool to the Lincoln monument.

The clouds started rolling in while we were at the WWII Memorial. This was a very powerful reminder of the men who died protecting the freedoms we sometimes take for granted.



This Lincoln monument was by far Emily's favorite part of the weekend. She just finished reading a book about President Lincoln and has been very interested in learning more about the man and his story.

Another very moving experience. Words can't describe your thoughts and feelings as you walk by the wall.
