The Fam goes to DC

I posted out of order, but the day before the movers arrived, we took the kids into the city. Dylan has been excited to ride the Metro and see the sights from his DC book. We also needed to just get out!

The closest Metro is about 5 miles away. On Sundays it is free parking so it was perfect. We rode from Falls Church into the Mall.

On the Metro!

 We took one with the Washington Monument then turned around and got the Capital. :)

The plan was to go to the Air & Space Museum. Dylan loved it!!

Ava ran around like a crazy girl! Hey, at least she was happy.

They were able to walk through an old plane. Then I had them pose by it. Dylan's excitement comes out in his poses. LOL!

Ava is taking a break from running around.

 I have four different luggage pictures. He wanted to pose with every suitcase!

He also wanted a picture by every exhibit.

After an hour, Ava was DONE! She was not a fan of the stroller at all! I got looks from strangers while I took this picture. I thought it was funny. :) Lunchtime!!

We had packed a picnic lunch and headed to the Mall to eat. We ended up by a meditation group; we didn't know this when we sat down. Next thing we know, the kiddos have joined in. :)

Look how calm Ava looks now.

We got ice cream for dessert because it is so perfect on a hot day.

After lunch we headed home. The Metro was a bit more challenging on the way home because Ava did not want to be contained.

Before the Metro...

After the Metro...

Her hair says it all! Heehee. We had a fun day and it cost less than $10! First outing was successful and we plan on doing it again.
