Okay so I'm taking FOREVER to blog Karina's visit, it's just overwhelming because there are soooo many pictures to choose from and we did tons of fun stuff! Hey, I'm not complainin'! So here is a whole slew of pictures from our first trip to Washington D.C. ever! Ben is missing from most of the pictures on our trip because he has officially been swallowed whole by his Masters program poor guy! He stayed home to work on homework...but hey at least we were out of his hair right? We had a lot of fun checking out the city. We did the normal touristy things because we didn't have a ton of time and wanted to see as much as possible. I think the highlight of the trip for the kids was riding the Metro! They LOVED it! Dylan gave out a squealof delight when he saw the Metro coming, it was so cute!
First Metro ride! I think this picture is awesome, everyone is spacing out and/or awkward haha!

Dylan was in heaven, he just couldn't believe he was on a real 'Two Cane' aka choo choo train:)

Our first stop was the National Museum of American history (The museums are all free! so cool!) Here are Dorothy's ruby slippers!

Muhammad Ali's Boxing Gloves

Dumbo Ride from Disneyland

discovering american inventions

Posing next to the Washington Monument

How cool is that?!



We dipped our feet in the water to cool off for a bit, ahh so relaxing!

Approaching the Lincoln Memorial

The standard Rocky Steps pose! Such a Philly girl! ha ha!

Not a great picture, but just look at how huge that is!

The Man with Karina & Claira posing most classically I must say:)

Showing brother some love! He was such a trooper in the stroller all day! any time we would stop he would say " go! go!go!" and try to thrust the stroller forward with his body, so funny!

So pretty!

I am jealous. I have never been to DC, even though I teach US History. I loved all the pics. How wonderful for you to share that with your kids.
