Washington D.C.

In September Danny had to go out to Washington D.C. for a work conference, so we took advantage of that and took all the kids with us to have a little vacation and see some family and friends while we were there. It was a short visit, but so worth it. After we arrived, Danny had to take off immediately to go to his meetings so we went to my sisters house for a few days. The first night one of my favorite people in this whole world, Carrie, came to hang out with us. It was so great to see her and I'm so glad she came out to Herndon to see us. We love you Auntie Carrie!The kids had a great time playing together. Since we don't live near family we just live for times like this where we get to see them.

Two of my beautiful nieces, Aya and Yumi.

Dylan likes Auntie Hil's house.

We went to the National Zoo. It was POURING down rain the entire time but luckily there is a lot of inside stuff. This giant fish thing didn't come out so well because of the flash but more importantly are those cute smiles on those little three year old's faces.

We got to see PANDAS!! My favorite!

Next we went to the Museum of Natural History, which is always fun. I love how goofy the girls like to be.

Allie was intrusted with my camera and took some great shots of Hilary and I. I love my sister!

The new MLK Memorial had just opened. Super cool.

After a few fun filled days, we went over and met up with Danny at his conference. He was staying near this harbor which had this sculpture of a giant coming out of the ground. Super neat.

Then we headed to Maryland for a two day visit with Danny's sister Mindy. It was sooo fun to see where she lives, her house, town, etc. Maryland is literally one of the most beautiful places in the world.

Although it was a short trip, we had a GREAT TIME. I can't wait to go back!
