I love DC.
I love history and, in a way, visiting DC is like visiting my own history because I lived my elementary years (until 5th Grade) in the DC area. I was hoping to see some of my friends when I was there, but it didn't work out. However, my sisters 'n law and I had a great time!
Rachel (Josh's younger sister, she lives here in the Charlotte area) and I left go to spend the weekend with Maria (Josh's older sister who lives in VA and works in DC.)
We did a bunch of touristy stuff.
Day One we went to the Natural History Museum
And my favorite the American History Museum
We also walked around (on a very cold and rainy day) and saw the pretty cherry blossoms.
The next day we headed to Mount Vernon. We spent the day walking the grounds and ate lunch there. I had a taste of their "Famous Peanut Soup".... it basically tasted like a huge bowl of peanut butter. (I hate peanut better, so I thought it was nasty, but that's just me.)
I got this coloring book for Alyse. I had to buy it for her because I remember buying that exact same one when I was a little girl. I still have it.
We went out for a nice dinner and then the next day went shopping in Old Town Alexandria.
The days were really busy. There is so much more that I haven't even mentioned! We did a lot of walking, shopping, laughing, eating, talking... It was a great weekend!

we go every year and love it! We usually go during the cherry blossom festival when they fly all the huge kites but this year it was still a little too cold (I think it was this past weekend). But we are going next week and can't wait.
