Day 12- DC

We drove into the heart of DC early this morning.  We parked at Union Station.  What a cool place!  Andy was excited when he saw this tie shop & wanted a photo.
Across the street from the station.
We walked to the Capital.
Then through the National Mall to Washington Monument.
Attempting to hold the monument.
Andy was sweet, and he carried Sam on his shoulders a lot today.  Sam adores Andy, and he kept leaning down to kiss him.
Lincoln Memorial.
We got on a Big Bus Tour and rode it all over town and seeing and hearing about many monuments and buildings.
Andy getting a photo with the White House from on top of the bus.
Jonah chilling on the bus.
Arlington Cemetery.
We ate at Hard Rock Cafe.
Eden getting in the groove there.
Andy too.
We saw Fords Theatre where Lincoln was assainated.  The kids didn't think smiling was appropriate here due to the grave nature of the place.  So we got thumbs down and scowls for the photo.
We went to Madame Tussads Wax Museum where I heard "Mom, take my picture!"  about a hundred times.  We loved it there.
Rosa Parks 2.0
Harriet Tubman.
Selena Gomez.
Andy has had a bit of a crush on her I think.
Michael Jackson.
Stephen Colbert.
Jesse Owens above, Beyonce below.
This lady asked to get a photo with Charity.  2nd time someone did that.  We also had someone ask for a photo with Hana.  We have had several neat incidents where people have come upmto us and said really nice things about our family.  Each incident was such a morale boost.
After the museum we went to DC Cupcakes.  Eden is a fan of the show and was dying to get a chance to go there, so I had to take a few photos to commemorate the event.
