D.C. Trip :: Day 4

Saturday!! What a fun day! The weather was perfect! Brett was off work, so he was our very informative tour guide! We started our day (late morning) at the Roosevelt Memorial then walked along the Tidal Basin and had awesome views of Jefferson Memorial and Washington Monument. Then we went to the World War II Memorial (which Jarrod and I both missed the times we were there in the past because it's relatively new), then on to the Lincoln Memorial (Stratton liked all those steps). We climbed back in the swagger wagon and drove around and looked at just about everything else from there- so the kids could get a quick nap. We then drove to Clyde's for lunch, which was wonderful!! The best place we ate the entire time! I had the best crab cakes! Yum! Then we were headed to the Air and Space museum, which Brett got called back to work, so Kristen and I decided to take the kids to a nearby park and let them run off some energy! Later that night after the kids were in bed Kristen and I went to the "Town Center" to a place called Blue Ridge Grill and got our food to go and went back to their house to chow with our fellas. We stayed up way too late that night! We did have some fun conversations, though! : )

Perfect Photo Op!

The ONLY picture I got of us and it's horrible! The wind was blowing and did not make for a good hair day!

Lincoln Memorial. Not a good pic, but Jarrod and Stratton are at the top of the first set of steps. As you can see it was a crowded place!

It seemed like every time we got in the van Stratton would pass out! Poor thing!
