Our trip to DC . . . at a glance

{Washington Monument and the reflecting pool }

We are back home, recovering from our vacation : )  Another wonderful Easter spent in DC.  We saw as much as we could...taking requests from the girls as we went.  There was a little bit of history... a few pieces of art... some appreciation of the great outdoors... lots of food... and most important of all... plenty of family time.

Here are just a few photos of our time in our nation's capital-
