A Perfect Day in DC

Wednesday was such a fun and beautiful day! The temperature was absolutely perfect for a morning stroll around George Washington's home at Mount Vernon. The kids were able to tour the mansion, visit his farms, see his place of rest, view the salve quarters, and check out his teeth in the Education Center. 

After Mount Vernon we spent some time on Capitol Hill touring the Capitol Buliding  and the Library of Congress followed by a stop at the Pentagon to view the September 11 memorial. 

After dinner we were able to have some fun at Twilight Tatoo where the kids had a blast watching the army parade to music. I think the boys especially loved the cannons and gunfire. The drill team was amazing as well! At the end of the show Dan Benishek, our local congressman, came over to meet the kids and have some photos taken. I think the kids all got back onto the bus smiling and excited about an eventful day!
