Crossing another thing off my 101 list, but also crossing a few things off my life list. This summer my family and I went to Washington DC for an extended weekend. We have really been doing a lot of the tourist-y stuff this summer and loving it!
We spent a day hitting the major monuments, I was super excited to see the Washington Monument. I can't even explain it!! Already planning a second trip to go back in a few years when they reopen the monument. Totally want to go to the top!!
We were planning a tour of the White House, but the stupid intern forgot to turn in my request to the White House and we ended up getting denied with our "last minute" request. I was really irritated because I actually submitted the request 3 months in advance! Oh well next time...
And we managed to fit in a few museums. The Natural History and American History museums. Pretty neat, but really crowded so we didn't spend too much time indoors.
We spent a day at the Smithsonian Zoo also! It poured down rain the entire day, but we made the most of it. the tiger didn't seem to mind the rain either. And their were NO crowds! LOL!
After the rain stopped we did the monuments by night. Love, love, love!!!!
We also went to Arlington Cemetery and watched the changing of the guard! I've always heard about it but never went. Another great experience. It was fantastic!
