Fifth Grade DC Trip

Brooke and I left early Thursday morning (4:45 AM) for her fifth grade field trip to Washington, DC and surrounding areas. It was freezing in the high forties and very wet, but we had a ball anyway. We saw so many museums, memorials, etc. that it's hard to list them all. But, Brooke's favorites were the Natural History Museum, the National Aquarium, and the Korean War Memorial. My favorites: WWII Memorial, Korean Memorial, Mt. Vernon, and Monticello.

At the Aviation Museum....

Freezing in front of the White House......

The Capitol Building.....

Rainy and high 40's the whole trip....but we had a blast anyway!

The back side of Jefferson's Monticello home......Jefferson's garden area and estate...one of my favorites and incredibly beautiful.

Our trip was great. We missed Cammie but her social calendar kept her busy. Her sweet Nana and Daddy were also here to keep everything running smoothly.
