Vacation: Washington, D.C.

While my parents entertained Kate for a couple of days (thanks Mom & Dad!) Mike and I went with Kevin and Leslie to Washington, D.C. for a whirlwind tour. We saw/did a LOT in 48 hours! Highlights included:

-Visiting all the monuments (including the Lincoln Memorial just before a massive rainstorm. We sought shelter at the monument, along with 500 screaming middle-schoolers on a class trip.
-National Archives (listening to people in line telling their kids "This is where they filmed National Treasure!"
-The Smithsonian Museums-- Natural History and Air & Space
-Eating at National Grill
-Changing of the Guard at Arlington National Cemetery
-Visiting the Washington, D.C. Temple
