DC Vacay

Tyler and I just returned from a trip to Washington DC.  I attended a work conference in the nation's capital and Tyler tagged along.  It was fun turning a work trip into a mini vacation.  Although I attended a few classes we still had plenty of time for lots of sight-seeing and playing.  And the best part was some of our favorite work friends joined us in the fun!

We started our trip with a 6:30 am flight, seriously what was I thinking booking such an early flight! But the earlier the flight the earlier you get to your destination.  We took full advantage of arriving early by exploring DC by foot. 

Highlight of the day was seeing Marine One landing in the south lawn of the White House dropping off President Obama

After a day of touring DC we went to a Nationals vs Mets baseball game.  I'm not a huge baseball fan but the weather was absolutely perfect to take in a game!  Plus it made the hubs happy :)

Post game testing out the subway, definitely rookies!

Chinatown

We started the next day with a little duck tour by land and water, quack quack

 

Union Station

 

 

WWII Memorial

After our first day of walking we quickly learned bikes were the best way to explore the city!

 

Lincoln Memorial

 

 

Found a future anniversary present, hint hint hubs . . . the Hope Diamond

Some of the ladies enjoying a drink while the boys watched game 1 of the NBA finals

And one of the best surprises of the trip was getting to hang out with a college friend who now lives in Houston.  I love that so many of our friends or their spouses work in the same industry!

 

Such a fun trip but I was so ready to get home to my munchkins!  I need a vacation from our vacation because I'm exhausted!!!
