Day two in Washington D.C. was far more relaxing, and thankfully, it was a bit cooler! After a city run and a breakfast of coffee, juice and fruit in the hotel, we donned our walking shoes (and left our purses in the car this time! Thank heavens for husbands willing to trade off a heavy backpack all day!) and hit the streets of D.C.!
A trip to Eastern Market, all the war memorials and several major monuments, a snack in the park, the Holocaust Museum and a quick trip to Georgetown for a bite to eat (no photos from there, sadly!) made day two the overall favorite of everyone in the group! Just seeing all these photos again makes me want to go back and enjoy it all over again!
How adorable is this place?
The photo on the right was a complete accident (I hit the shutter as I lowered my camera!) But just looking at the texture of the gravel makes me feel like I'm walking on the Mall!
A delightful afternoon snack of cheese and crackers!! This may have been my favorite moment of the whole trip!
Overheated and tired, I mentioned in passing how much I would love a lemonade and the next thing I knew, Strom had run off and returned from a snack shop with a cup of delicious lemonade for me! That's my hubby! :)
Thomas Jefferson said that if you wish to preserve history, forget books, write your words in stone. Greatness is written on this wall. Evidence of a man of God and integrity.
From flowers to the reality of evil... If you're ever in D.C., the Holocaust Museum is by far the best done museum I have ever been to (and trust me, I have been to many - I was homeschooled, that's what we did for fun!). It so so worth the time and experience.
Halfway through the week!
Happy Wednesday!

What a sweet husband you have! You are looking adorable, as usual! Logan enjoyed the pictures of Lincoln... we are studying him in school and he just wrote a little story today about Honest Abe :)
Aww thank you! You're too sweet! And that makes me so happy Logan enjoyed Lincoln! I want to hear his story!! Lincoln was always my favorite president as a kid! :)
I think it went something along the lines of: Abe was born in a log cabin. He liked to read the Bible. He was our president. He died for our country.
He's not really into writing all that much ;)
