DC Day 2

Sam had to work so we went to the American Indian museum. The outside architecture was just as interesting as the inside. Jens wasn't too impressed, she slept the whole time.

We went to the botanical gardens next. They had the coolest orchids- and a ton of them too!

We walked up the hill to meet Sam at the Hart building for a tour of the Capitol. The tour of the Capitol was definitely a highlight. It was so cool to see the art, architecture, and tunnels. We had a great guide-Emma, and we were the only ones in the group. It was super packed though.

We had a lot of fun posing like the statues and pictures.

The balcony was one of the best views!I was bummed we were not able to see where Sam's office is. I guess we will just have to go back :).

After the Capitol we went to see Sam's place. It was in a really cool old neighborhood. After dinner we started the monument marathon. I swear we walked 10,000 miles. But we got some great pictures.

Trip to DC day 1

We went to Washington DC!! It was awesome. This is day one. We had to get up way too early. Thanks to Eric for taking us. MJ was so excited she talked the entire way to the airport (at 5am). Here is a pix from the plane ride. Jens first plane ride.

We dropped MJ off at our layover in SLC. Thanks to Gma and Gpa Lemon- they made the trip possible by watching MJ.

We made it to DC. Jens did really well on the crowded plane.The first night we ate at an interesting Indian place. We stayed at the Omni, and there were a bunch of different places to eat all around.
