There is so much to do and see in Washington D.C. The cherry blossoms are in full bloom and it is gorgeous. A little on the cold side but sooo... pretty! The boys started out by going to the International Spy Museum. I went across the street to the National Portrait Museum. The boys loved all the spy stuff. They even got to crawl through the air vents!
The next day we took the train into Union Station and went on a bus tour of the city. We went to the capital, the Washington Monument, Jefferson Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, the White House, and a few other things. It was a really fun day but totally exhausting. To chill out we went to the movie "Diary of a Whimpy Kid 2". The boys loved it. They were cracking up! It was fun to watch them. We were the only ones in the whole theater so they were able to just let loose!
The following day we did the museums. The air and space museum was a favorite of the boys and I enjoyed seeing the American History Museum and the gowns of some of the first ladies. We went into the Natural History Museum but didn't get to stay long. We were wishing we had more time.
Arlington National Cemetery was awesome to see also. We went to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the Marine Corp statue. Very cool!!
We stopped by the Washington D.C. temple on our way out of town. It is gorgeous!
