Images from D.C.

 I'm splitting the trip pics up into two posts.  Our first leg of the trip was to D.C.  Even though I'd been there before it was a lot of fun to go back and see everything with grown up eyes. 
 The four of us in front of the Washington monument
 Saturday night we went to a Safetysuit concert, they were great as always
 The Smithsonian Air and Space Museum
 We walked by this cute Starbucks
 We stopped by the National Zoo and Giant Panda was in hiding but we got to see the elephant getting pampered.  He (or she) seemed to love it. 
 Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
 The Korean War Memorial-it made for a cool picture with the reflections in the wall.
 We made a stop at D.C. Cupcakes in Georgetown.  They made a great late night snack!
 The National Cathedral was just as beautiful as I remembered it.
 Arlington
 The White House
 D.C. at night was gorgeous
 Statue of Iwo Jima.  We found the extra hand, there are 4 people, should be 8 hands on statue but there are 9.  Someone made an oops.
 World War II Memorial
 All of us at the historic Willard Hotel, where the drinks are $15 each and gross.

One of my favorite parts of D.C. was the holocaust museum. It was silent throughout the museum the whole time we were there, and we were there a few hours.  It was powerful to see the videos and the actual belongings of the people from that time.  We stayed in D.C. 5 nights and then went off to New York.  NY pics to follow...
