Washington DC

I hit the ground running when I landed 

in Washington DC this week.

We stayed in the JW Marriott.

It's a block from the White House.

I love being right in the middle of everything.

Are you ready for a camera dump?

Most of these pictures will be recognizable.

See if you can guess them before your read 

their identification under each photo.

Mt. Vernon

White House.

I gave up on waiting for those people to move 

so I could get a better photo.

Did you know them all?

Mt. Vernon may have been tricky.

I have been wanting to see the home of George Washington 

and it did not disappoint. 

He was a land surveyor and through his job, 

he obtained some gorgeous property right on the Potomac.

This 200 year old home is beautiful but I'm grateful I didn't live my life back then. No indoor plumbing...thanks but no.

It was a fun trip.

I never tire from visiting Washington, D.C.

I enjoyed my first tour of the White House.

It wasn't as big as I thought it would be.

I'm glad I did the tour but I wouldn't care to do it again.

(unless you want me to go with you)

The best part of the trip was being able to 

spend some quality time with dad.

We walked our feet off and talked forever.

Good times!
