Jenna and Morgan went shopping with Kristi and Martha a couple of Saturdays ago, so the Little boys went for a trip down to the Iwo Jima Memorial and Roosevelt Island just across the river from DC.
The pictures of DC are from the Iwo Jima Memorial, a really nice view of the Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument and the Capital building all together!
Here are some pictures of the trip. The lions are a gift from the Netherlands as thanks to the US for help during the war. They are at the base of the Carillon tower the Netherlands gave as a gift.

Drew took the picture above of Ethan and I. Not too bad for a 3 year old!
Roosevelt Island has natural trails to hike around the island on the Potomac river. You have to hike across a bridge to get to the island. In the center of the island is a memorial to Theodore Roosevelt. It was nice except that every flight landing in Reagan National Airport seems to fly over it just before landing. Yeah, it was really loud.
