Washington, D.C.

We had a wonderful time in Washington. We spent the beginning of our trip with Debi & John, then the last few days exploring the city alone. They were fantastic tour guides, and best of all - we got to see the city from a local's perspective.

Saturday afternoon we toured the Tidal Basin and the FDR Memorial. I would love to go back when all the cherry blossom trees are in bloom.

The new World War II Memorial is beautiful.

I think one of Nate's favorite parts of the trip was seeing 3 helicopters circling over the White House. We learned that they travel in 3's when the President is on board. Later on the trip we saw the presidential motorcade on Pennsylvania Avenue. I thought that was cool, but not too subtle!


The "living room" of our hotel was very swanky:

On our last evening with Debi & John we went to the cool rooftop bar at our hotel. It overlooks the White House and Treasury Building

Visiting Julia Child's kitchen at the Museum of American History was fun!

A great anniversary trip!
