At the White House
Camryn and Aunt Sue (a.k.a. "Grandma")
Eating at Ernie's
View of the capitol from top of Washington Monument
Jerrod had a conference in Alexandria, VA this weekend, so we decided to tag along. The kids and I met up with Aunt Sue (she lives in Arlington) both Saturday and Sunday and saw all kinds of great things in D.C. and the surrounding area. Saturday, first on our list was going to see where Barack Obama lives. After an Arabic lunch (not everyone was a fan!), we headed to the O & C Canal where we got to ride a canal boat pulled by mules similar to the ones they used in the 1870s to haul coal. We then met Jerrod for dinner at Ernie's Crab Shack...a favorite D.C. spot of Jerrod's since he was a kid! It's quite the experience. They dump a dozen whole crabs on butcher paper in front of you and arm you with a hammer and a plastic knife.
On Sunday, we were able to ride to the top of the Washington Monument. It was such a beautiful, clear day; the view was incredible!
We definitely didn't even put a dent in all of the activities we need to do in D.C. before we leave the east coast. Since it's only 4 hours away, we'll be making at least 1 more trip!
(I really do love Carson as much as Camryn, he's just too wild and never sits still for a picture! That's why you never see him in vacation pictures!)
