For our 5th Anniversary, Nathan surprised me with a trip to Washington, D.C. The weather was hot, the activities were fun, the blisters hurt, but we still had a wonderful time!
I have a lot of pictures uploaded, so be warned!
This is the hotel where we stayed. It's located on Lafayette Square, nearly a block from the White House. Excellent location!
I, of course, had to take a few pictures of the inside of the room. Fanciest place I have ever been!
The first night we were there, we went on a Moonlight Tour. It's a two 1/2 hour tour and our tour guide was Grumpy. It was very interesting and a gorgeous night!The following are a few stops on our tour.
This is the Old Union Station.
Christopher Columbus Memorial
Library of Congress-all the books inside, if layed out, would stretch out over 6,000 miles.
Can you imagine?
Since Nathan and I are teachers, we thought it would be appropriate to take a picture of the Department of Education.
This is the Old Time Trolley our tour was on.
Iwo Jima Memorial--Marine Corps Memorial
