Sightseeing in DC

After all the times Jeremy has been to DC he has never gone sightseeing. So after work one day we took the kids downtown and decided to see the sights. It was swelteringly hot and we were down a stroller (since I'd run it over earlier that day). But we did see a few things and we had fun, and that's all that really matters.
Here we are riding on the metro. On the way to dowtown we hit rush hour and it was pretty packed. I don't know if there is no ventilation in those things, but it sure was stuffy in there. Luckily the kids were really good and people were really nice about us getting on and off. We sure do take up a lot of room, that is for sure

We walked up to the Washington Monument. This is one of my faves. One day I will actually go inside of it, but on this day we were just on the outside. It was interesting to see as we were walking around that there were tons of sports leagues going on. They had soccer, softball, ultimate frisbee. You just never think of people playing sports next to these national monuments.

The kids' favorite part was getting a hot dog from a street vendor. Later at the Washington Monument there was a mishap with the rootbeer. After that we decided to call it a night and head home.

Kylee is not in a lot of the pictures of our trip and this is why. She spends a lot of the time sleeping in her stroller. Sorry Ky, hopefully when you get older you'll get more face time on the family trips.

The kids standing outside the White House. It sure is a lot smaller than you'd think.

We saw some guys in a car heckling an old lady walking down the street. The secret service hurried and pulled them over. It was quite the sight and of course we were the crazy tourists that stood there and gawked.
