Washington D.C. – part #3

After Nicky’s Leadership conference, we all met again in D.C.   As the only way to travel in D.C. is by Metro (their train/subway system), here’s a picture of the kids on the Metro our first day -

We didn’t make it to the Capitol, although Nicky did on his conference.

It rained the Saturday we were there – I’ve never seen so many people packed into the museums.   We visited the Air & Space, Natural History and American History museums.   Uncle Walter sure does like to walk and he walks very fast.   Here we are recovering from one of Walter’s walks -

On the last day we visited the new FDR memorial park.  It is wonderful – if you are in D.C. take some time to visit it.   Well worth the time!   Our pictures from the memorial park.

That’s it!   We had a great time and can now check off D.C. in our “Places to Visit in the United States” list.
