Trip to Washington D.C.

Brooklyn, the sign says stay off the wall!

Brooklyn on the Metro


The National Mall




April and the girls in front of the Capitol













The first day, the girls and I set off on the subway to go to the National Zoo. Mackenzie loved the turtles, the pandas and especially the elephant who decided it needed a bathroom break right in front of us. Somebody should really have his bladder checked! Brooklyn was quited fussy that day--still adjusting to jet lag, I'm sure. We came back to the hotel where she took a much needed nap on her "special bed" that Abe made her. He basically just threw some pillows in the floor. After Abe was done with his classes, we grabbed a bite to eat and then headed off to see the White House, Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial. We walked and walked and walked!!! Finally we caught the subway and headed back to the hotel for some much needed zzzzzz! Stay tuned for the pictures from the rest of the week.

Looks fun. DC is a cool place to visit. Can't wait for more pics. Love Brooke's hair-- she's looking more grown up.

What a fun time! What a great piece of history to visit and to share with your girls even at their age.
