Our Nations Capital

So it was a week full of sightseeing and exploring.  There was so much to see and it felt like even if you were out all day walking around, you didn’t even see half of what there is to see here.  It is crazy how some places we visit have so much to offer and sights to see and then, there are others that basically allow you to catch up on sleep and relaxing movie nights.  Little did we know, but this city had both in store for us. 

Aside from all the places there were to see:

Air and Space Museum

Smithsonian Castle

African Art Museum

Art Museum

American History Museum

Natural History Museum

Washington Monument

Capitol Building

Navy Memorial

Sculpture Garden and Ice Rink

Georgetown – shops and restaurants:

Georgetown Cupcakes

Francis Scott Key Park

Stone House

Rock Creek Park 

We even got a Snow Day!  I felt like I was a little kid again waiting for the word to hear that school was cancelled, but this time it was work that was cancelled and the city was basically shut down.  Too bad I wasn’t at home and could build a snowman and make snow angels.

Adding to all this is excitement it was also Valentine’s Day this week!

Then, as it all came to an end, it was time to get started on our 16 hour bus ride into Canada and hope that we all make it past the boarder.
