Day #10 of our Aiden road trip and we are in Washington DC! There is plenty to do and today we walked a little over 5 miles checking out monuments, attractions and landmarks.
Our first stop this morning? Georgetown Cupcakes and coffee from TLC's DC Cupcakes TV show. There was a short line, but it was so worth the wait! Today is auntie Stephanie's birthday, so we ate a cupcake in her honor (Happy Birthday Stephanie!) and then bought a dozen to snack on in our hotel room:)
After cupcakes, coffee and strolling down M Street in Georgetown, we headed up to Georgetown University to check out the campus. We sat through an information session, took a tour of the beautiful campus and then had lunch at one of the campus restaurants. From Georgetown University we headed over to Howard University to explore their campus.
This is where all the walking begins. Next stop...The White House, photos in front and of course the gift shop for postcards and magnets!
The Washington Monument came next.
Jefferson Memorial.
Lincoln Memorial.
We were sad to find out that the Martin Luther King Jr. memorial will not be opened until the end of August. Eric and I decided to try to get a glimpse of it even though it is still under construction and fenced off. The girls were not so adventurous and sat this one out (resting their feet on the lawn). Much to our surprise, we were able to get an awesome view of the memorial (without climbing the fence)!
We have headed back to the hotel and of course, Sinobia is in the pool! There will be a little late-nite dinner, cupcakes and movies before bedtime. Another full day awaits us tomorrow!
(We avoided the rain today. There was a rainbow behind the girls that I was trying to capture in the picture)
