We went to Washington, DC for Spring Break, 2007. Well, I went with the 5th graders and when they left, Kyle met me there. We had a fabulous time. Since I plan everything to a tee and I had been the last two years as a chaperone, I knew just how to do what when. We saw all the memorials, we were able to go into the Capitol. We took tons of pictures inside the Capitol, Kyle loved the architecture. We went to the National Archives, Air & Space Museum, the Natural History, up to the top of the Washington Monument. We enjoyed a night out at the Improv. We saw Flip Orley, who was hilarious-go see him if you ever get the chance. The whole trip was wonderful. It was like everywhere we went, we were able to get right in and there was no wait. Until, we had plans to drive to Monticello and then to Mt. Vernon. Kyle made fun of me because I was all bundled up. Turns out when we got there, it was sleeting...literally. We had to buy Kyle a sweatshirt and he was still freezing. Then, we went to Mt. Vernon, still sleeting. I really wish we would have been able to walk the grounds, but it was just too cold. All around, an enjoyable trip. The first picture is of us laying on the lawn in front of the Washington Monument. It was a beautiful day!!
