We decided to come out to New Jersey again and be here for Christmas and New Years since all of Keith's family will be here. We flew in on Monday, the 16th and on Friday and Saturday we took a 3 1/2 hour trip down to Washington DC. Can I just say if you haven't been there yet, GO! I loved everything about it- the Temple, the museums, all the monuments! The best thing is that all the museums are free!
Friday- Arlington National Cemetery, Lincoln Monument, Washington Monument, Veteran's Memorial, Washington DC Temple & Visitors Center, Dinner at La Madelines, back to the hotel.
Saturday- National Archive Museum, Museum of Natural History, Original Smithsonian Museum, The White House.
We didn't even tap all the museums and things that there are to do there, the Natural History Museum alone takes forever to go through and we saw maybe almost half of the exhibits there.
Here are some pics!
