Our D.C. Trip

We are back from Washington D.C. We had a great time visiting Joe's cousin Ryan, his wife Sharon, and their kids Aidan and Zane. Zane is 9 weeks old, and we hadn't met him yet. We were visiting during the annual Cherry Blossom Festival. There were cherry blossom trees everywhere downtown blooming. It was very pretty. I had never been to D.C before, so I really appreciated all the history that I was able to see in such a short amount of time. Joe fell in love with the Metro and wants to move to a city with one. I was able to see the Hope Diamond, the original Kermit the Frog, Lincoln's Hat, and many more artifacts. We met up with Joe's Aunt Connie and Uncle John and cousin J.J. for the Holocaust Museum and a private tour through the Capital Building from the Chief of Staff of Congressman Israel from New York, Jack. It was awesome. We walked around Arlington Cemetery. We visited most of the memorials and monuments, and we saw the White House. There is so much to do in D.C that there is still more to see the next time we visit. I want to visit Mt.Vernon and go to the Archive's. We had wonderful dinners with Ryan and Sharon, and we had a lot of laughs and hugs from the two kids. It was a perfect trip. Thank you for the hospitality Ryan and Sharon, and we look forward to visiting again if you will have us. Here are some pictures from D.C. and our Easter the weekend before.
