Memorials & Monuments

We chose to go to Washington D.C. for our family trip this summer!
After spending the school year studying American History there were many historical places that we wanted to visit.  There are also many fun museums and sights to see!
We were in D.C. for 5 days over Memorial Day weekend. The weather was beautiful, it is a clean city, crowds were light and we all had a fun time!
