Washington D.C.

Shelby and I went to Washington D.C. on Saturday. We did some sight seeing and went to the Smithsonian. We didn't make it to see the White House because halfway there Shelby's legs got too tired to walk any further. We were headed over there, we had just passed the Washington Monument and she said, "Do we have to go to the White House?" I said, "Well it is kind of wierd to come all the way here and not see it." she said, "But do you have to? Like is it a rule?" What a funny kid! I told her we didn't have to so she decided to turn around and just go back to the Metro stop to head back to the airport. We had a great time. Shelby really loved the Museum of Natural History. We saw the Hope Diamond, a giant squid, and a bunch of dinosaur fossils.
Next time I think we should spend more time, with kids it is hard to go as fast as we could when it was just Matt and I. There were still things we wanted to see but ran out of time and energy.
