Hello! I have not blogged in a while about our vacation because we have been so busy! I'll try to sum up what we have been doing this week.
First, we went to Washington DC where we were able to tour the White House. To me the coolest part of the visit was getting to see one of Obama's dogs! However, the tour was very cool and we were excited to be there. After that we walked around the mall in DC and went to one of the Smithsonian museums. (the American History one). Day 2 had us visiting the capital and more Smithsonian's. (American Indian and Natural History). Day 3 we had to take Colin to the airport because he was flying home to go to church camp. After we dropped him off David and I met up with some friends from Pennsylvania for dinner. It was so great to see them and the crab cakes were delicious! Caty and Garrett went back to DC for more museums. Day 4 we went to the Smithsonian zoo and saw the panda's! That was high on my bucket list for sure. DC was amazing but VERY hot! I thought we were all going to have heat stroke by the end of it.
Next, we went to Colonial Williamsburg. I was super impressed and if you have not ever been before you should go! I knew the actors would be dressed up and be in character but I had no idea that you become part of the scene and part of the action. Very cool! Again we almost had heat stroke but the day was amazing and I wish we had had a second day to really see it all. I have learned so much American history on this trip.
Finally, we went to Stone Mountain, GA. For my Texas friends it is like Enchanted Rock on steroids. Beautiful scenery and lake, quaint little theme park, and lots of history. We had two good friends from the area meet us for dinner and a campfire! David grilled out for us and we had a fun time!
Today we made it to Perdido Key and will spend the next few days chillin' at the beach!!
