We have spent the last couple of months planning a big trip for when Skip was on this last break. We have been so excited and were thrilled when it was finally time to go. The next couple of posts are a recap of our trip. We could not have fit more into 9 days if we tried. We were really lucky and were able to have Grandpa and Nana fly in and we went to Washington DC, Hershey, Baltimore, and Gettysburg. During our trip we stayed at a rental at Laura's parents house. They were great hosts and helped to make our trip fantastic.
Washington DC
The first thing we did when we got to DC was to go to the Smithsonian Museums. Grandpa and Nana took Casen and Jace and went to the Air and Space Museum while Skip and I went to the Holocaust Museum. This museum was definitely not a place for kids. It was very educational but also very very graphic. I can not believe that anyone could do such crimes against people. This was very sad.
Here is a picture of us in front of the Washington Monument. My dad had to lay on the ground to get this shot.....the monument is so tall (Thanks Dad).
Lincoln Memorial Monument
Arlington Cemetery
Here is the family in front of the Reflection Pond. As you can see we have two sleeping children (Jace and Cora). We had worn them out by this point.

What a good way to spend Skips break! You guys did do a ton! And you had fun...with kids, that is impressive!
It looks like you guys had an awesome trip! I'm with Alesha and am very impressed with all you were able to do with three kids! Great Job!
NO WAY! when were you there? We might have gone at the same time. We didn't get to fit in quite as much as it seems you did. . . Walking around Arlington with a stroller pretty much did me in the first day we were there.
Its about time you put these up! Looks like you had a blast! Next pictures should be of you visiting your brother in San Antonio!
