Washington D.C. sites

After spending all day Sunday and Monday with the Nelsons we ventured out on our own on Tuesday. We spent the day doing a lot of site seeing. We got to see a lot until it down poured. We of course were just walking back from the Lincoln Memorial (the furthest thing from anything). It was a long walk and a heavy rain. We got soaked. Some how Caden managed to fall asleep. Sorry the pictures are a little out off order. If you notice there seems to be a lot more pictures of Caden that is because he was the only one willing to stand and smile for a pictures by the end.

We rode the train into D.C. and then toke the subway into downtown. The kids loved riding the subway. That is until the second day we were in D.C. and had to ride the subway during rush hour. Jordan turned to me and said, "Mommy I'm getting squished." "Yes, I'm sorry but we all are."


Kailyn and Jordan feeling a dinosaur bone. Jordan discovered little signs that let you know that they wanted you to touch something (ie a bone, a smooth rock, etc). She then spent the rest of the time looking for these signs and touching everything and then excitedly would come and tell us all she had found something to touch.

We went to Natural Musuem which at a section that had a bunch of stuffed wild animals. Kailyn couldn't understand why they would kill the animals and put them here to look at. I think she was so confused cause just the day before we had gone to the zoo and seen the live ones which were a lot funner to look at.

Caden, Jordan and Kailyn. Not sure why such a look on Kailyn's face. Maybe she is afraid of the elephant behind her.

Checking out the dinosaur bones.

Caden loved the dinosaurs.

Caden still willing to smile for some pictures.

Caden looks a little unsure of the dinosaur head.

After walking in the pouring rain forever we finally found shelter in a walkway of a building. We had hoped to have a picnic over by the Lincoln Memorial but we had to settle for lunch where it was dry.

While, we were eating lunch the rain finally stopped. This is the building that provided us shelter during the storm.

How Caden fell asleep when it was raining so hard, I have no idea.

In front of the White House.





The girls refused to be in the picture but Caden was more than willing.
The girls eventually decided they didn't want to be left out.




Can you tell Kailyn didn't want to take a picture?
