Washington D.C.!

Parker and I were lucky enough to go on an amazing trip with my parents a couple weeks ago. We started in D.C. but went all over. Five states, three baseball games, and quite a few historical sights and museums, we had the time of our lives. 
There is so much I could share! We went so many places and saw so many amazing things. We had such a wonderful time and had so much fun with my mom and dad. We could not believe how much we were able to see and do (especially with me being pregnant and with it being so hot- the humidity was killer). Here are a bunch of pictures. 


Here are my parents walking over to the National Archives. I had been to D.C. once before and the National Archives was one of my favorite things we did. I was so excited to take Parker. I can't find the words to describe the feeling of seeing those documents that shaped our nation. It's breath taking. Parker loved it as much as I knew he would. 


Here we are at Mount Vernon. Another favorite! It is so beautiful.

George Washington's tomb. 

Arlington Cemetery. 

Camden Yards! My mom and I both swear the Camden has the best ballpark hot dogs. I stand by that statement. The Yankees played ok considering half their lineup is on the DL but, Baltimore kicked their trash. I was a good sport. It was still so much fun. I don't think it is possible to go to Camden Yards and not have a good time. 


Air and Space Museum. Probably our favorite Smithsonian. We got caught in the biggest rain storm I have ever been in on our way there. We were drenched.

Here we are at the Nationals game. My dad is happier than he looks in this picture. Another fun ballpark and another great game. 

This was on July 3rd and they had amazing fireworks after the game. 


WWII Monument. 



The Washington Monument was under construction. 

Lincoln Monument. 


The rotunda in the Capitol Building. 

The statue of Ronald Reagan in the rotunda has part of the Berlin Wall in the base. 

See the crushed up pieces. 

National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial



D.C. Temple. It is so beautiful.



Fords Theater. 

All of this and so much more. I wasn't the best at taking pictures. We were having way too much fun. I will post pictures from the Philadelphia part of our trip soon.
