D.C.



The weather this year has been really strange. It snowed over a foot in New Mexico last month while here in Maryland, we have had really good weather for the most part. Yesterday was no exception. Ben has never been to the east coast and has always wanted to see the capital. Kim came over in the morning and we all took off for a long day of sightseeing. Here are a few pics from our outing.



We went to the museum of natural history and watched a 3D tree hugger movie on sharks and logan loved the fancy shades he got to wear. During the movie he kept trying to grab the fish as the appeared to swim right up to him.









Sorry, we couldn't resist it was just perfect.



Back to DC, we were originally planning to see the air and space museum but it was closed so the much anticipated voyage to Uranus was plutoed (yes, though no longer a planet it has become a new word with a great meaning)





The Natural History museum really was cool though. Even though the shark movie repeatedly reminded me that I was the sole cause for the end of our eco-system and life on earth as we know it. Afterwards we made it to the war memorials. The WWII plaza is amazing. We had been a few times prior but this time Ben was able to look up his Grandpa's name in the registry, that made the monument seem much more meaningful to all of us.
