Fun in D.C.

We are back from a great trip to Washington D.C. We left last Saturday and returned on Friday afternoon. On Saturday, the first thing we did was head out to dinner. We were in Pentagon City and walking toward the mall when it started to rain...not just sprinkle, but rain! We were soaked by the time we reached the doors. On Sunday we decided to walk the National mall and see all the sights. We walked about 7 miles I think! After walking to the White House while on the way to the Washington Monument, we were soaked again...a total downpour (see picture!). There was no place to go and get dry so we just kept on walking!
It rained again on Monday and Tuesday. Because of all the rain, alot of the museums were closed.
Among the sights we saw are Arlington Cemetary, the National Zoo, Mt. Vernon, the WW2 Memorial, the Korean War memorial, and the Lincoln memorial.


It was great to see Tom and Kari and to finally visit Silver Spring, Maryland (the city where they live). We went to a lot of great restaurants and enjoyed a great time with my parents as well.
