Memorial Day weekend was a busy one for sure! We went out to DC to visit the family and had a lot of fun along the way! Trampoline, zoo, Arlington, baseball, 5 Guys, and Segways were just some of the fun!
Zoooo and National Cathedral - Sam spent most of his time with Peter holding his hand :)
Rolling Thunder rolled through town on Sunday - we saluted!
What's Memorial Day in DC without a trip to Arlington?
Eric was a guy Peter knew from his time in the Army. It was nice to be able to find this site while there.
No trip to DC is complete without Chick-Fil-A and 5 Guys!
A Nat's game was on Peter's to-do list, so now it's on the done list.
Super cool hot pretzels! Go Nats!
We had a few minutes to kill so we popped into the American History Museum - saw an exhibit on the history of food (music to my ears!) and Julia Child's kitchen!
And after a long time in the making and yearning I finally got to go on a Segway tour! It was excellent! I highly recommend doing it! My favorite part was rolling through the gravel on the mall; striking to be honoring history and engaging the future all at the same time.
We had just arrived in front of the White House when they said Obama would be landing on the lawn shortly. And sure enough! Now we've seen Air Force One and the presidential helicopters!
And here is where A LOT of time was spent! It sealed the deal with the kids! We're in!
We had a really fun time and already are forming a list of things to do on the next visit!
SEGWAY!! I think you've got my Grandma intrigued :)
