The last week of March, 2012, the Murrays (Bryan, Kristine, Gavin and Madeline) took a trip to Washington D.C. We saw all the monuments, some of the museums and lots of death (cemeteries, or memorials to the dead--Holocaust Museum, Pentagon Memorial, Arlington, Gettysburg, Vietnam Memorial, etc.)
We stayed in a nice little apartment in Pentagon City and rode the metro into the city most days. On the weekend we rented a car to drive up to Gettysburg. We also went to the temple to take memorable pictures - "This is where we got married and it all started."
One great place (we went twice) was the Old Post Office Building. It had an atrium inside with tables set up for the food court and an excess of souvenir shops. There was a bell tower we could go up and get a nice view of the city. Perfect place for lunch and a rest! This is also where we found the Segway Tour for the boys, which Gavin thought was pretty cool. His other favorite was the Air and Space Smithsonium Museum.
I'm not sure the kids really liked the trip, but I think as the years pass they will look back and say, "oh, yeah, I remember that."
awesome!!!
