A day in DC

On Friday, my brother Sean, his girlfriend, KC, and her twins came into town. They were celebrating Thanksgiving with KC's family in the Outerbanks. Since they weren't too far away, they decided to come visit. I was really excited to meet KC and the twins and have them visit our home.

We didn't do much Friday since they came a later in the day. So, Saturday we spent in DC! We decided to walk around the National Mall and visit many of the monuments. In order to get the whole DC experience, we took the metro into the city! Kinley, Chance , and Landon were all bundled up for the trip.
When we first arrived, we headed to the Washington Monument. Chance was sleeping, so Landon and Kinley posed for a picture on tree in the park!

After the Washington Monument we headed to the WWII Memorial. Sean posed in front of the Florida section of the monument.

Landon and Daddy also posed for a picture.


Landon also got a picture with KC and Sean!


After the WWII Memorial, we walked to the Korean War Memorial. Landon got a free ride on Uncle Sean's shoulders.


Landon and Chance walked and played near the Reflecting Pool on the way.


I didn't get any pictures at the Korean War Memorial, but it really a cool Memorial. From there we headed to the Lincoln Memorial. When we have been before, we usually stay at the bottom of the Memorial. This time we took the elevator up to the Statue level.


Once we were done with that, the seven of us posed outside for a picture with the Washington Monument in the background.


So did Sean, Landon, and I.


We then headed to the White House. On the way, we walked past the Vietnam Memorial (again, no pictures there). Andrew and I hadn't been to the White House since we moved here, so it was nice to go visit and pose for the "traditional" picture!


Our day was not done after the White House. We got back on the metro and headed to a sports bar to watch the Florida-Florida State game! Go Gators! Chance really enjoyed the metro!



After the game, we got back on the metro to head home. Poor Kinley was having a bad night, but Landon and Chance slept soundly the whole trip home!

It was a busy day, but we had a great time!
