DC

WAshington Monument...nestled in the "Fall" of the East Coast....tis pretty in fall out here!

Capitol Hill....where business is done!!

Lincoln Memorial...

I swear we saw it and didn't super-impose ourselves in a picture....

Vietnam Memorial....takes your breath away with so many names.........we also saw a group of "Honor flight" veterans on a tour....what a great way to try to say thanks to those that serve! Honor flights take groups of WWII vets to DC and show them the sites along with their own memorial that has been erected in their honor...flights are 100% paid for through dontations...if your looking for a place to give, consider these honorable folks!

Lauren and Tait...enjoying the fall colors on the Mall in DC....so pretty!

The Smithsonian....entrance and information building....it's comprised of several buildings...we ventured in to the animal one....so great to see...can't wait to take my own kids!

We ventured into DC one day with Tait and Melissa while they were visiting....we got to the Smithsonion, Washington monument and the Lincoln Memorial....words can do no justice to the feeling of being there and seeing it...I got a little choked up at the Vietnam memorial...
