Well, we are back {having survived the worst plane ride ever}, we've almost caught up on all our missed TV shows, and we are ready to blog about our great trip to the District of Columbia.
Washington Monument.
Washington Monument.
Lincoln Memorial--from the Washington Monument.
D.C. Capitol from Washington Monument.
I love this guy.
This guy rocks.
Hanging out in Dupont Circle.
Thomas Circle--right across from our hotel.
Logan Circle.
Just walking around with Jakey. I think this is about where I found that Jake was eating gum from a wall. Yup--just like Elf.
The Phillips Collection. This gallery holds Renoir's one and only "Luncheon at the Boating Party". Seriously. Amazing.
Street shots.
The White House.
Jake was pretty excited about seeing the White House.
Inside the WWII Memorial. So cool.
Hanging out with Daddy.
Funny guy.
Lincoln Memorial. There is a really a palpable sense of reverence in this place.
President Lincoln's view of the Washington Memorial.
The three of us. Man, it was hot that day.
This little guy was our pal. He was literally eating out of our hands.
We tried to get him to eat out of Jake's hand, but he wouldn't bite. I think he knew Jake really wanted to grab his fluffy tail.
Came across your blog when I was up and should have been sleeping. Sounds like a great trip to DC. Loved your pics, cool street shots too. Glad I read down further to hear about your exciting news!! See, it really pays off to be up this late! I'm excited for you guys!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! I love that you were able to go with Blaine and have such a great time. DC really is such a great place. I've been converted. And let me tell you, the White House is so much better than Buckingham Palace. We just went to London and it's nothing to fawn (sp?) over. I was expecting this amazing building, but it was very boring. I'm proud to see these pictures of the White House and see how cool of a building it is.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures. Looks like tons of fun. I'm glad Blaine was able to get out and about despite our hounding him to do work after his meetings. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I love love love my Jakey. <3 Your pictures do not disappoint! I am kind of DYING to make it back there. Can't wait to have you guys over Sunday!
ReplyDeleteLooks so fun! (Its on my list of places to go) Your little family is just so darn cute. And I'm cracking up that Jake pulled an Elf move and ate used gum. LOL!
ReplyDeleteLoved your post! I seriously would live in NYC or Washington DC if I didn't have children. I love big cities and all of the cool architecture!!! I loved your pics. You have always been so artistic! The pic of the 3 of you, cheek to cheek, needs to go on a Christmas card..or in your house. You all are adorable! Can't wait to meet baby #2!!! :)
