A few weekends ago we took a trip to Virginia to see your friends the Gray's. We lived just 2 houses down in our old neighborhood, but they moved to DC 2 years ago. Emily and Katelyn have pretty much been friends since they were born. Even though they only get to see each other every few months now, they still love playing together.
Saturday we headed to downtown DC for a day of sightseeing.
We decided the kids would like the musuems the best. We went to the Natural History musuem first. Emily's favorite exhibit was the "jewels." The Hope Diamond didn't really excite her, but she loved the ruby, sappahire and emerald jewelry. Her eyes were so big and she kept asking if she could get that for her birthday. Sadly, I told her she was born in the wrong family for bling like that.
We ate lunch on the lawn and the kids just loved running around and having fun!
Next we visited the American History museum.
After the museums, we decided to stop at Arlington Cemetery. We wanted to see the changing of the guards at the Tomb of the Unknown Solider and the eternal flame at the grave of John F Kennedy. Andy took ALOT of pictures here, but I will just post a few.
It was such a nice little trip. We had fun sightseeing in DC. We wore the kids out, but honestly the adults may have been a little more worn out. And of course it was great spending the weekend with the Grays. The kids got along great and it was nice hanging out with Laura and Avery. Sadly they just moved even farther way to CT. But we are making plans to meet in the middle next time!

I love the American History Museum, probably my favorite place to visit on the mall. Glad you all had such a fun time!
