Easter Weekend Recap

So, we spent Easter weekend in DC trying to see all the important sites of our Nation's Capital and visit with my uncle. It was interesting way to spend Easter because we did none of the usual things--- we stayed in a hotel and the kids watched me make their Easter baskets and give it to them. No questions about the Easter Bunny either. I think they realize the truth but just don't want to say anything about it.

We knew it was going to be cold that weekend which was unfortunate because we just had 70+ degree weather the weekend before. But we had no idea it was going to snow!!! We woke up Saturday morning this this.



I have no idea why my camera only downloads half a picture but you get the idea. Luckily we were prepared with gloves and scarves.

The first thing we experienced was the Metro. The kids thought this was the best thing ever. They refused to sit down because they wanted to get the full effect of the metro stopping and going again. They were hanging onto these poles for dear life and loving every second of it. We took the Metro everyday and then bought tour tickets for a bus once we were downtown DC so it would drive us to all the sites we wanted to see.



We went to many places but here are just a few highlights...
The Lincoln Memorial



Arlington Cemetery


My uncle's new downtown condo


The Vietnam Memorial


We also went the Washington Memorial, the WWII Memorial, The White House, the Air and Science Museum, Natural History Museum, the best train station ever, the best Vegan Resterant ever, and we also visited my uncle's condo and his office which are pretty close to each other. It was a dandy weekend and one that the kids will hopefully remember.
