Day 10 in Virginia: Washington, DC

"Are you ready to go?"

We met up with N. and her son, S.!

"How do we purchase our metro tickets?"

Boarding the Metro

On the Metro!

Stephen and I

The passage way
My first time in DC!
Cool building

A lovely garden

"Look! There's the Capitol!"



We saw a group of people dressed up as pirates...they looked pretty authentic!

The ceiling inside the Natural History Museum

Love the architecture!


The Hope Diamond

Malcolm and Stephen like the museum!

Cool.



This guy was playing his own type of drums....buckets and trash cans turned upside down, along with a grocery cart

The White House
On the Front Lawn

This is....

...a cool building.

After a long walk, we finally arrived at our destination!

Cupcakes

More cupcakes!
More, and more cupcakes!


S. liked his cupcake :D

Resting on a bench

The romantics

S. and his mommy
I really wished I could have ran through that water!
Another shot of the river along which we walked

"Children, this is how you press the button on elevators!" N. had to show us how to press elevator buttons....Katie and I were forgetting to press them all day!
Traffic below
As we were finishing up our cupcakes, I had to get a picture of Stephen eating from the box...it looked like he was eating the whole thing! :D


So ended my first day in DC
