More of D.C.

We've tried to do a lot of exploring the city while the weather has been so nice. As I've looked back at the pictures we took at each place, I noticed a common thread. We seem to feed Brigham at every site we visit. We have so many pictures of feeding him on benches outside famous places.

See...this is us outside of the State Capitol building feeding him just before our tour.

 

In the Capitol they have 2 statues for every state. Of course, we had to get a pic of Utah's since it was Brigham Young. After all, that is Brigs great great (etc) grandpa. 

We also went to Arlinngton Cemetery and spent a couple hours walking around there. We saw the Kennedy graves and eternal flame.

We also toured the Robert E. Lee family mansion home.

We saw a few other little and big memorials as well as just enjoyed being humbled by all of he graves and soldiers who gave their lives.

Ever since my block history class in high school I have been so eager to see specific places. One of them is the change of the guards at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. It was a special experience.

Another day we went to the National Harbor with everyone. It was really fun. It is a lot like Pier 49 in San Francisco but even fancier. 

This is my nephew playing on this cool giant statue of a man buried in he sand. It's fun.

Oh, there is also a Peeps store! In the Peeps store they give a wall to Mike n Ike and another wall to Hot Tamales. It is awesome! They have so many different and unique flavors that you can fill your bag with. It's like a fozen yogurt wall or a giant soda fountain but of different kinds of Hot Tamales or of Mike n Ikes. 

And after that long day of fun, we were sure tired.
