"Family" Vacation

Jeremy had another course to take up in D.C. (Sarah did SEE the building and can vouch to all the other wives that it really does exist! LOL!) Seeing as this was the only opportunity for a summer "family" vacation, Sarah drove the kids up and down from Georgia (11 hours EACH way...thank you, thank you,...) to be with "dad" in the evenings and weekends. Sarah and the kids did all the sightseeing during the day. We saw: the monuments (including tickets to go up the Washington Monument), National Museum of History, National Archives, National Gallery of Art, White House Visitor's Center, Air and Space Museum, Zoo, LDS Temple, and the Jim Henson Exhibit. We also walked around Annapolis. Jeremy and Sarah love this place. Found out that Allison, Madison, and Parker do not. In Baltimore, went to the Children's Museum and the Science Center. Saw Sarah's old roots in Woodbridge, VA. Looked at houses in Quantico, VA (which will soon house the new NCIS headquarters.) Saw Sarah's aunt in Fairfax, VA. Ate out everyday and swam in the pool. Rode the Metro. Did I forget anything?! Oh, yes,...it was hot!
