Vacation Days 3 and 4

On Day 3, Brett and I left all the kids for a day with Grandma and Grandpa and had a "date" at the Smithsonian Museum of American History. That was really interesting and worth the visit. All kinds of memorabilia from different time periods. I especially liked the Inaugural Dresses worn by First Ladies. Brett liked the History of Transportation. Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures there.

On Day 4, we took the twins with us to another Air and Space Museum by Dulles Airport. Also worth seeing. It had one of the retired Space Shuttles (Discovery).

He didn't want to go up in the tower
because "towers are for princesses!"
Once we got inside, they all loved
watching planes take off and land.


They want to be the first twins in space:
Riley the pilot and Gavin the space walker

What a memorable time for your family! The children's "journals" are such a good idea.----Carol

After viewing all the pictures and commentaries about your trip to DC, I would say that you did well taking those children to all those places. And the individual picture diary was a wonderful idea and something you can all enjoy later. It was special that your in-laws were there to help with the kids and to spend that precious time together.

So fun to have a post from the next generation. Thanks for sharing. You really took a lot in! It's a great city, as your kids found out!
