Our Washington D.C. trip

Well, we made it to Washington D.C. on Saturday. And the area was packed. We saw alot,but I know we probably missed alot too. It's been hard to post any pictures because we have been in the hills of Pensylvania with no internet and very little cell phone coverage. We are in a better area now, but this has still taken me well over an hour and a half to download the pictures. I have many more pictures of D.C. but decided to just highlight a few. We are now into the end of week one of our vacation. And we haven't all murdered each other yet. Yeah!




Britt was thrilled to know that there was Starbucks in the area, even though she didn't get one.



Rod liked the older areas and thought these houses or townhomes whatever they are were pretty neat



The Washington Monument



The Lincoln Memorial



A Sculpture outside the Pentagon



We stumbled into the Pentagon parking lot trying to get on the highway



This was a nice bench we passed as we walked to the Capitol Building



The Hall Of Justice



This was one of the Senate buildings



I'm not sure what this building was, but there is alot of writing on top of the building



Walking towards the Capitol Building



The family on the Capitol Building Steps




This was kinda neat, there were a bunch of police officer's together behind the fence at the Capitol Building, and from what we could make out, We think they were praying. They definately need to pray for protection!

I must say that to keep one's sanity on a trip like you are on is definately a work of a pro!! Although I would venture to say that it's not all that tough seeing how you have a great bunch of kids. Glad to see you are having a good time. Memories that your children will never forget...except for Megan...lol!! We miss you guys on Jordan. Patricia has been very loanly this summer with all of her "buds" gone. She talks about her "boys", Ethan, Landon, and Collin and I can tell she is ready for everyone to return. Enjoy the rest of your trip. Looking forward to seeing more pictures. God bless!!
