D. C. Highlights

The boys and I had a great time in D. C. earlier this month. We were there for just under a week and I tried to pack in as much as the boys could handle. Being there over the 4th of July weekend made for some large crowds and some long lines so a few of our destinations had to be scratched.

We did get our fill though; The National Portrait Gallery, The Smithsonian Museum of Natural History, The Marine Corps Museum at Quantico, Mt. Vernon, a Tour of the Pentagon, of course the Sunset Parade at the Marine Corps Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery, the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum near Dulles Airport and the Bull Run (Manassas) Battlefield.

Here's a few snapshots.
