Washington DC
Welcome to Maryland!
We did not plan to hit DC on a Saturday that is just how it ended up. Wow was it busy! We drove around the mall which took about an hour bumper to bumper. Snapped a few pictures and explained to the kids that we might not be able to actually get out of the car. Seth was really bummed about that because ever since he read The Lightning Thief he wanted to see the Washington Monument because it was in the shape of an obelisk.
And then we found it! The most awesome parking place we could find! We were at a stop light about to turn left when I saw a sign that read Buses, Bicycles, and Handicapped Only. That's right Handicapped! I wished my Mom didn't have to have one but I sure am glad she had one this day!
Lincoln Memorial

Washington Monument
How cool is this! We found an air vent on our way back to the car!
The changing of the guards and the Tomb of the Unknown Solider.
This is the Amphitheater that is next to the Tomb.
Gettysburg
We did a quick drive through Gettysburg, PA on our way down to DC.
On our drive I saw in the distance this lookout tower and had to check it out! Seth, Kaia and I walked to the top while Mom and Dad stayed at the bottom! Good thing too, cause that was a long way up!
Views from the top!
Posing with the cannon after our long walk up and back down the tower.
