Washington
DC Day One: October 4, 2008
We went to Washington DC with the kids and Gale and Judy
over fall break.
We figured Laura would spend most of the trip on our hips and wouldn't have
an
appreciation for our nation's history, so she got a trip to Tennessee instead.

Although my photos didn't depict my emotion,
the World War II Memorial was my favorite part of the trip.
