Arlington and Dulles

We took the kids down for a second day on the Washington Mall.  After a few wrong turns and hot sweaty, hungry kids.  We toured Arlington and did the next day at the Dulles Air and Space Museum.  That was awesome!!  The kids loved it and we saw all sorts of stuff.  After the museum we hit a local historical park for a few hrs and then met up with our friends the Gaskills.  The kids were super excited to see their friends again and we had a blast catching up with Christian and Lori.  Here are the pics.

Playing in Aunt Shannon's pool was always fun!!
