Fun in DC – Day One

We had Ryan’s Mom and Stepdad out to visit us a few weeks ago. and they wanted to go to DC.  Cindy had never been and Chuck has been when he was much younger.  So, on a couple hot and steamy days we took the metro in and played tourist!

We hit all the important spots…

After all that walking we headed to the museum of American History.  Man, these museums are huge.  After two hours we had been through one wing of one floor!   By that time we were thirsty and hungry and ready to head home where we could recharge for the next day!
