March 13, 2018

Cam and I met Darren in Washington DC for a 5 day vacation.  It was 2 full days of travel with 3 full days of monuments, museums, and metro.  Plus a temple Visitor's Center.
Observations:

  • There are Dunkin Donuts everywhere.  And we may have had breakfast there twice.  :)
  • Some museums are better than others.  (Especially art museums.)
  • Speaking of art museums, sometimes they make you carry your backpack on one shoulder.
  • It's cool to see the Washington Monument almost everywhere you go.  (And we blame Spider-Man for it's closure.  :))
  •  Talking to sister missionaries is the best.
  • The Holocaust Museum was so good and so so sad.
  • The Declaration of Independence is fading.  
  • Don't eat at the National Archives cafe.
  • We really liked seeing all the animals at The Museum of Natural History.
  • Layovers can be long.
  • Riding bikes around the Capitol is a good idea.  Riding bikes through rush hour to The White House is not such a good idea.  
  • Moving walkways in airports are way fun.
  • Also fun is watching Darren not move on escalators.
  • Lincoln Memorial is still my favorite.  Seeing the Gettysburg address by the monument was cool since Sadie just memorized it.
  • You get lots of steps on a DC vacation.
  • Singing High School Musical while walking around the mall with Cam makes me smile.
  • It's always a good choice to bring PB M&Ms.
  • DC temple Visitor Center is worth the effort to get there. 
  • Trader Joe's popcorn is delicious.
  • Sometimes Dominoes is just the dinner you need.
  • It's always nice to see nice people helping others.
  • The squirrels there are crazy.
  • Chop't is a delicious salad place that we wish we had in Utah. 
  • Getting tickets for The National Archives was worth the price when we skipped the long wait line.
  • Don't forget your backpack.
