United States Capitol Building

Outside the Capitol Building. Building is beautiful and just awe inspiring. But have to admit, this was our first inclination of just how much walking there would be in DC. We thought we were doingもっと詳しく
Inside the Capitol Building

Not much time to spend here but it is a beautiful building and we really wanted to see it. There was a tunnel going from the Capitol building to the Library of Congress which meant we did not have toもっと詳しく
Riding the subway.
2017年6月19日, アメリカ ⋅ 🌧 27 °C

We finally made it to Chinatown, after many rounds of "how much longer do we have to walk" "are you sure you know where we are going?" "I'm not walking 10 more blocks!" I finally gave up the map toもっと詳しく
Playing in the Waves
2017年6月20日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
The girls had a blast playing in the waves. They were pretty big waves, but really a strong undertow so they were easily knocked off of their feet. The lifeguards were on vigilant duty.
Heading to the Beach
2017年6月20日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
Oh, the excitement! A couple of the girls have never been to the ocean before. But we also took time out of our drive to enjoy a sweet morning snack along the way.
At the Beach
2017年6月20日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
It was a beautiful day at the beach. There were clouds that kept the sun from beating down on us so that helped with the heat. Everyone had fun playing in the sand and we had a picnic lunch at theもっと詳しく
