Ce matin ciel gris, beaucoup de vent. Nous nous rendons au. wharf pour voir la rivière Potomac
La promenade est très sympa mais serait plus agréable sous le soleil
De retour au national mall nous croisons la fameuse parade du cherry blossom festival. Depuis 1912 le Japon offre des cerisiers a Washington ce qui explique la profusion de ces arbres dans la capitale.
La parade est un très beau spectacle
Nous nous rendons ensuite à la National art gallery, ici encore un musée grandiose avec des œuvres de tout premier plan.
Après le déjeuner nous allons visiter les archives nationales où se trouvent la déclaration d’indépendance, la constitution et la bill of rights.
Nous nous rendons ensuite au monument de la seconde guerre mondiale et au mémorial Lincoln tout proche.

Arlington Cemetery is a must, so grand in a sad way. Our time in Washington has been wonderful seeing the many memorials and monuments. Every where we have been the people have been amazing. Off to New York tomorrow - expected max 3 deg - lucky we are so well prepared 🙄.Read more

Day 7 - DC & Takoma Park
July 19 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 82 °F
After we saw the big landmarks on Wednesday the boys declared the only thing they wanted to do the next day is go to the SPY MUSEUM and hang out with our friends the Garner's who moved to the DC area last year.

The Garner's met us at The Spy Museum and it was great for the boys to all get to run around and play their way through the museum. As an adult, I would now like to go through the museum WITHOUT kids and be able to spend more time with the exhibits. There were loads of interesting details about the broad range of tools & trades that encompass the espionage world.

After the Spy Museum we had lunch at a great Cuban place on the wharf then Anabel took one for the team and took all the boys with her to a pool. With a few kid-free hours to ourselves, Nate and I visited the National Gallery. As a person who's been painting for a few years, viewing all that art by legends like Monet & Van Gogh was really inspiring. There were also a couple of enormous drawings of the Capitol, White House & Supreme Court that were incredible in detail and size.

From the gallery, Nate and I scooted our way down to a memorial for the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Thomas McKean of Delaware is believed to be on of Nate's ancestors, so he took some pictures of the signature that is etched into the memorial stones. Next we headed to the MLK Jr Memorial, which is so beautifully done and includes many of his most impactful quotes.

Once we saw everything we wanted to fit into the day, we headed up to the Garner's home in Takoma Park, MD. We spent the evening catching up with them and an early bday celebration for Griffin who turned 12 the next day.Read more
