Washington DC on the 4th of July

We still can't believe this could even happen, but our EFY session this year was in Virginia the week after the 4th of July so we flew out early so we could spend some days in DC.  
What an adventure to be on the National Mall on the 4th of July.  You think the airport is good for people watching :)



Waiting for the fireworks!


National Gallery
Impressionists are my favorite...

Also Matisse...

The Capital building is behind us...I promise!

Love love love modern technology.  It was so fun to txt pictures to grandma for the boys.  We asked them what movie this one was from.  Honestly, the whole time in the Natural History Museum we really were waiting for this to come alive!

Did I mention it was really really hot and humid?...

and we didn't get our rental till later...
so we took the Metro everywhere!  It was AWESOME!
(but more awesome once we found the 7-11 for Slurpees!)

Love the Smithsonian: Air and Space

 Vietnam Memorial

Lincoln is one of my favorites!

 Arlington...
everyone is so reverent there.  It's very peaceful.

This photo doesn't even seem real.  Wow, what a beautiful temple.  So thankful for eternal families.  So sorry the temple was closed.  Loved that this temple was naturally landscaped.  Not a lot of manicured area.  All natural forest.  Beautiful!


ON TO EFY IN Buena Vista, Virginia!
