We always seem to find something new and exciting on our trips to Washington D.C.! I love just being in DC and could drive around all day and be happy. John goes for the food (hahaha) but seriously, he enjoys the museums. On our most recent trip, we stayed in Old Towne Alexandria (which we had never done before) and explored this little place. There are shops, resturants, parks, and areas by the river. It was beautiful! We also did several things in DC that we had never done before, one of which was going to Ford's Theater. Joylyn and John Joseph were entrigued and we learned so much about one of our greatest presidents, Abraham Lincoln. We also visited the Peterson Boarding House where Lincoln died. We kept saying, I can't beleive we've never done this before! For many years now, we stop by the old post office building and eat lunch and stop by the shops....but yet another first for us this time, we went up to the top of the building where there is an observatory area. I venture to say this may be better than the long lines and ticket games for the Washington Monument. As always the Metro was one of the kids favorite things and we enjoyed the Natural History Museum and the American History Museum. We had fun searching for the exhibits that were featured in the new Night at the Museum movie too! What a blast!
