Fun in DC

 
Way back in June we added a trip to DC as part of our time in VA with my parents.  My parents were extra awesome and watched the kiddies for a couple of days so Ryan and I could head up there by ourselves for a little getaway.  I was fun and nice to be able to sleep in (although it's getting harder to sleep in the more pregnant I get).  We had gone to DC as part of our honeymoon but hadn't been able to go to the Holocaust museum, so that was our main goal this trip.  We ended up spending most of our day there and didn't see much else.  But it was a neat experience and nice not feeling like we had to rush to see everything.
 
On Saturday, my parent's continued their awesomeness by waking up early to drive 2 grumpy boys to meet us at DC.  The plan was to hang out there for a couple of hours and then finish the drive back to Ohio.

I think the boys favorite part of the trip was getting to ride the subway.  Papa did a good job following Tate around and keeping him out of trouble.

We did take the boys to the Natural History and American History museums.  Grant really liked seeing the dinosaurs and animal bones.

 Tate fell asleep on the metro ride back to where we parked.  We let him sleep in the stroller while we ate lunch, but woke him up since we still had a 7 hour car ride ahead of us.  Needless to say he was not too happy.  With two grouchy, tired boys and two grouchy, tired parents, the trip home was one to be remembered.  Overall it was really fun though, really!
