Day Two DC

 Jefferson Memorial. We got up early and made it around the Tidal Basin before noon. This is where all of the Cherry Trees bloom and FDR , Martin Luther King, DC War, and the John Paul Jones Memorials are around. I don't know about anyone else but I didn't even know FDR had such a big monument, it is 7.5 acres of fountains and statues with quotes on the walls to walk through right along the Basin. Very cool.

 Pete often took a nap while on the go in the mornings.

 I hadn't been to the Jefferson Memorial before so it was on my must do list.  Jeff stayed with the sleeping Pete while Pieper and I walked up and this is the picture she took.... budding photographer on our hands like her mama... guess I will have all of the different kinds of cameras she will need!

                                                    

Yes, that is Jeff and Pete.

 Back at the hotel.  I think they both took a three hour nap that day.

 Later that day the kids and I went down to the National Portrait Museum.  A lot of things close at 5:30 ( the kids weren't always up until then or later) so we were able to see somethings one wouldn't normally as they were open a little later. No pictures as we were caught in the rain, thank goodness we had Jeff's gigantic umbrella and the wonderful stroller.
