I have wanted to visit Washington DC for years and I finally felt the boys were old enough to understand what we were seeing. I didn't know how they would do with 3 days of museums and visiting monuments, but they enjoyed it and only complained when they were really tired. That's understandable, we walked a lot. Mom came with us too because having an extra adult on vacation is never a bad thing!
The first day we visited the National Mall and we bee lined for the Lincoln Memorial. From there we explored the mall all the way to the white house. The next day we went to a couple of Smithsonian museums and Arlington National Cemetery. On our last day in DC we dodged the rain showers at the National Zoo. I had three things I wanted to see in DC; The Lincoln memorial, The Hope Diamond and a Panda bear. Check, check and check!
We left DC and spent a day at Gettysburg then rounded out our trip with a day of play for the boys. We went to Hershey, PA and visited the Hershey Amusement Park. It was a memorable trip with something for everyone. I am happy to be home though, Purl missed us!
