Washington D.C.

This was a start to an amazing trip. Delicious sliders and a mountain of onion strings.

Aaron and I headed to D.C. for a great vacation. The kiddos stayed at home with Nana and we enjoyed an adult vacation. Aaron had a conference for work so we decided to make a little vacation out of it, and boy it was nice. We had nice leisurely meals, walked, all over the city, spent time with a friend from college, and went shopping. Don't get me wrong, I missed my babies like the dickens and thought of them several times when there was something they would have loved, but it was great for Aaron and I to have some good quality time together. Here are some pictures that I thought were pretty nice, what a beautiful city with so much amazing history and things to see.

We got special treatment knowing friends that work in D.C.

We got to the top of a condo that overlooked the city.

Seeing the White House was amazing at night. 

Seeing giant green trees got us every time.  We had to take pictures with them in the background.

 

Washington Monument at sunset. Sorry for the blurriness but I thought the sky looked amazing with the monument lit up.

Picketing!  There was a huge rally at the capitol building when we were there.  We found some great signs in the garbage...ya I said it, we pulled them out of the garbage and we had several to choose from.  Don't mind what they say, we just picked the ones on the top.  Isn't that part of being at the capitol?
