DC: Mt. Vernon, Air and Space, Lincoln Memorial

In October we took advantage of what could potentially be Mckay’s only fall break while at Notre Dame and took a trip out to DC to visit Adam and Carley. What made this trip even better was that Mckay’s mom and brother (just home from his mission) joined us and we also got to meet up with Mairin and Chad. We felt so lucky to be able to spend time with so much family. We were seriously in Heaven. We had left the trip open-ended, not completely sure how long we would be able to stay with the kids. But we just didn’t want to leave. So in the end we stayed 10 days and seriously had the best time. Not only was it amazing spending so much time with family but we fell in love with DC. We tried to soak up as much as we possible could. I’m shocked at how much we did with the two babes. We’re so blessed to have kids that our so good at travelling.

DAY 1.

{MT. VERNON} Mt. Vernon was beautiful. We walked around the beautiful grounds and learned a little history. Henry loved all the attention he got from his aunts and uncles he missed and running around outside.

   

 

 

{AIR AND SPACE MUSEUM} We got to the museum late in the day so we only had an hour. We obviously knew our airplane loving boy would love it. He also fell in love with rockets and carried his souvenir space shuttle around the rest of the trip. We made plans to go back again.
