As most of you know, Tyler and I headed back to our nation's capitol last weekend since our first trip was mediocre, to say the least. This time everything was great! We were able to see/tour/do a long list of things and we had a lot of fun too. Some of our favorites were the Diplomatic Reception Rooms at the State Department (definitely a secret treasure), Mount Vernon, the National Archives, the Washington Monument, the FDR and Pentagon 9/11 Memorials, the Udvar-Hazy Air & Space Center (might be better than the original Air & Space Smithsonian on the National Mall), the International Spy Museum, and the DAR Headquarters & Museum (for me, not Tyler). I know it's hard to believe, but these are just the favorites, not everything we did.
Here a few photos of our little excursion for you to enjoy:
The Washington Monument
The National Cathedral
The Enterprise Space Shuttle is HUGE and soooo awesome! It's hard to describe the feeling you have standing next to a space shuttle.
SR-71, aka Jetfire from Transformers!!
Enola Gay- the plane that dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima
State Department mirror Christmas tree and flags
Mount Vernon and back porch view of the frozen Potomac
FDR Memorial
Capitol rotunda w/ the Apotheosis of Washington
The Great Hall (Library of Congress)

I just discovered I have the ability to comment on here. I thought I had to have a blog myself. Anyway when I was in DC we didn't have time to do more than just drive by the washington monument so I like your up close picture of it.
