✿Vacation✿

Well, my WHOLE family and I went on a week long vacation to DC. We had a great time! I write everything in order:

On Tuesday we had drove down there. It was approximately an eight hour drive.

Gloria was pretty comfortable!!!

We stayed at a friends house most of the time

On Wednesday, we went into DC. The traffic going in was pretty crazy compared to Rochester driving! We went to the Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, the Vietnam Wall, the WWII Memorial, we ate lunch at  the United States Department of Agriculture. Then we went to some museums and then we went to the US Capitol Building. That was neat! Here are some pictures:

We also saw the White House. The president was out
of town though.

We went to the top of the Washington Monument. THAT WAS
NEAT!

The tip of the monument.

The NY stone inside it.

At the USDA

It was Gloria's and Zane's 1st time to go on a vacation.

We were tired.

A gown that young children would wear. Boys and
Girls. There were two straps that hung from the back to
grab onto if the kid was being naughty, or about to fall.

A real dead horse.

The next day we went to Arlington, and a couple Museums.

The tomb of the unknowns.

The changing of the guards.

The Natural History Museum

The Hope Diamond. The largest diamond ever discovered.
