Washington D.C.

On our way to and from the Outer Banks we stopped in D.C. and stayed with my best friend from high school. It was such a nice chance to break up our trip and enjoy good company. On the way home we actually stopped in the city and enjoyed some of the sites. The last time Logan and I were in D.C. was when I was 9 weeks pregnant with Brennan.
We finally found a parking spot and headed towards the Natural History Museum. We figured Brennan would love all the animals inside. It's a good thing there are so many children's book with animals (armadillo, beaver, wolf, hippo, etc). Brennan knew many of the animals there.

Just inside the museum. Brennan did really well the whole time. He wanted to jump off of everything - but what else is new?

(Brennan was in the stroller and Trevor had fallen asleep)

Maren and I. I kept telling her D.C. would be such a fun area to live in. She loves it! There's so much history and fun things to see/do. Not to mention people always wanting to come and visit.

The Martin Luther King Memorial opened about 4 weeks prior to our visit. It was still very crowded with people stopping by to check it out. We loved it. There was such a beautiful sunset as we were getting ready to leave. It's a pretty awesome design. MLK's statue was carved from a large stone cut out of the wall behind (picture below).

The Dance family.

Trevor wanted to grab Logan's camera! He was such a good boy the whole time (after he woke up).

The Richards.
