After the wedding festivities wrapped up in Maryland we repositioned ourselves in downtown Washington, D.C. for a few days of sightseeing and friend reunions. Although we lived in the D.C. area for two years and toured the national sights many times over, the kids remember nothing. And now I'm hanging my head in thought over all of the places we've taken them to that we'll have to redo again someday. Oy. So for them this visit was like the first visit. And for Trevon it really was his first visit, but it doesn't matter because he'll remember nothing. And in a few years we'll be doing this one over again too. Oy.
Pennsylvania Avenue
Lincoln Memorial, still my favourite
Ice-skating in Alexandria, Virginia with great friends (curse you florescent lighting!)
Dallin earned most improved skater for the night, starting with a death grip on the wall, before graduating to a death grip on people, to this . . .
Lunch at one of Scott's favourite D.C. restaurants with friends from Virigina
A la National Treasure Dallin escapes the National Archives with the Declaration of Independence (or a $5 replica)
At the base of the National Christmas tree in front of the capitol building
Our own private New Year's Eve celebration in front of Ford's Theater (where Lincoln was assassinated)

For all the heart ache you have over moving just think of all the great things you have been able to do. Your kids will remember enough and if you have to go back I think it's always better the second time. I'm jealous of your travels!!
