DC Day 1

After a few days in Missouri, we continued out trip to see the Barneys (my sister's family) and my other sister Sara who their nanny for the summer in Virginia (right outside DC) and to be there for George's baby blessing. My sisters and I took the boys into DC and attempted to show them some of the museums. It was a little rough with all of them because there were so many people and we only had one stroller.   I knew the walking would be an issue (we aren't used to walking very much in Texas because everything is so spread out), but we were going to try! After Radley's tantrum he fell asleep and things were much better!

Damon and Radley with the first cousin on my side, George.

George is about the same size as Radley!!  Not really, but he's a big boy!!

Waiting for the Metro.

Mom and the boys

3 girls and 3 boys.  My, how the next generation has shifted from girls to boys!!

Kyler enjoying the view.  We were able to see Regan National Airport, the Potomac River, and many other things as we headed to the National Mall.

Radley liked looking for the lights in the tunnel.

Damon loved hanging out with Sara.

Radley was obsessed with pigeons.  He wanted to touch them. 

Kyler at the Natural History Museum measuring up against an elephant leg bone.

The Elephant!

T-Rex (This was right before Radley had a major meltdown about the stroller which involved a 35 minute screaming fit and me walking through a super crowded museum with a flailing toddler that was hitting and kicking people! Great times!!)

This thing was pretty big.

Damon in the plane.

Thankfully we talked Damon and Kyler out of waiting in lines to walk through the rockets and other planes.  There were so many people and so many lines!!
