The Sights!

We had more time to sight-see in DC than I thought we would so we covered a lot of ground. Pat's cousin Brian joined us for all of it and definitely helped keep the kids entertained and distracted from the amount of walking they were doing. We saw most of the typical DC sights the first day and made it to one museum-American history the day after the wedding (Mother's Day!). The kids were pretty exhausted from the wedding the day before but made a good effort at the museum!

Coffee stop before we started!

White House

I didn't make a big effort to get the whole Washington Monument in the picture...

Close-up of the Washington Monument

This waterfall is part of a WWII memorial but had a great view of the Lincoln Memorial

There were ducklings everywhere and it was adorable! This was a whole pile of them-sleeping soundly next to the reflecting pool.

The kids and Abe. And some other people

The squirrels would get creepily close so I guess they're used to being fed! Brian was doing his best to get a selfie with this one. 

American History Museum! The kids were both really interested in this exhibit on The USS Philadelphia

In this exhibit you could pretend to be a DJ and scratch (?) the "record." 

Bending wires! Paige went through this one a couple times.
