DC PICTURES
Sorry it took so long to get these out there! I know you've been wanting to see them, Grandpa Fissel... 
(union station--very beautiful architeture. mikey bought me expensive chocolates here!)
We left Winston really early in the morning and upon arriving in Virginia, stopped first at Arlington Cemetery.
  There we read very practical signs and saw the very systematic changing of the guard (and I cannot figure out how to make it stop being underlined so bear with me):
 
  I'm having trouble remembering our itenerary, but I think that night we visited good ol' Abe and the next day, our good friend Teddy.
  
 These pictures are not going where I want them to. Oh, look, it suddenly decided not to be underlined! We really liked the Roosevelt monument, even though it would have been a lot better if it were warm and the water was turned on, seeing as how it's all fountains...
 
  We saw Washington's monument from far away, then stood in line in the FREEZING, WINDY, FEBRUARY DC WEATHER...then we were warm inside of it, and it was really a cool place!
  
(as you can tell by our clothing choices, it was very cold.............)
We stopped off at the country's capital and had a great tour guide.
 
(big gun)
whew, so many people to visit with! Robert (as in, E. Lee) was kind enough to snap a picture with me.
 
we visited the white house but couldn't take our camera, so we don't have any pictures--it was really lame anyway.
call me nerdy, but the library of congress was, by far, my most favorite place. GORGEOUS!
   
At the end of the trip, we got some free-time and Mikey and went to the National Botanical Gardens and the Air and Space Museum, where they had some items on display from the History museum that was being renovated.
   
(I really liked seeing Kermit!)
That was pretty much it. I wish we had some pictures that could convey our frustration at the breaking down of our bus and how it started to rain when we switched buses to come home HOURS later than we were supposed to.
Well, here they are; our lovely DC pictures :).
