We spent a weekend in D.C., visiting Uncle David, Aunt Lisa, and niece Maddie. Nanna and Grandpa drove down from NY for the occasion, too! We spent a day at the Smithsonian
National Air and Space Museum and the
National Museum of Natural History.

Another shot using a different light. They both look worried!
The hanging jet fighters are always a draw.

Many displays to keep the boys interested.

A break from walking. Let me tell you something, do NOT do this on a holiday weekend. The crowds were ferocious.

A relaxing break by the fountain.

Time to stretch those legs!
