DC

eddie's brother russell is in DC for the summer
doing an internship at the EPA.
eddie's family went to visit him last week.
so we decided to take a road trip...i keep a bag full of toys
she does a number of things with them
either a.she will play with them
and then toss them over the side
b.upon handing them to her,
she immediately throws them over the side
or c. shove them to one side of her leg
then switches and shoves them all to the other side

since our arrival was a surprise to eddie's mom and sister
we explored georgetown while we waited for them to arrive.
this is the cupcake place from the t.v. show DC cupcakes
we decided to rather wait in line that morning
we would come back with everyone later.
well we went back later and the line was down the block
and around the corner.
needless to say, we didn't get a cupcake.

we rode the metro everywhere...which was fun
this was our first stop.

this was the view when you got off the metro

we kept emi busy by feeding her lots of snacks
she wasn't too excited about being
trapped into her stroller.

it was nice and hot...and humid.

waiting in line for a tour.

waiting in line...in the A/C....

i thought this picture was funny.
emi was taking her shoes off.
i guess she is her mother's child.
she likes wearing shoes as much as i do.

emi took all naps in her stroller.

waiting for the shuttle from the hotel to the metro.
emi knows how to work our phones.
she loves her zoo animal app.

we had a tour of the capital
it was a little hike to get there.
we went through this underground tunnel
to get from i think the senators building to the capital.

this is george washington.
i guess this was an exact mold of his face.
and he was a big guy, like 7 feet tall.

eddie actually took all these pictures.
i was chasing emi around.
she learned to scream, really loud.
so eventually we would get her down
because we were on quite tours.

i thought this picture was funny.
because sometimes eddie jokes/thinks
of himself as pacific islander.
of course he would find the king of all hawaii.

this was in the middle of some room.
and sweeping your foot over is suppose to be good luck.
there is a divot where everyone has swept their foot.

i thought this was interesting.
they bought this light from a church or something
i think....i was chasing emi around.
but what i did hear, is that two men clean it twice a year.

this was the ceiling in another huge room.
it tells a story of some sort.
i'm sure you could look it up.

we also went to the space museum...
where i was able to get some astronaut ice cream...yum!

emi getting attention from some random lady.

looking at some exhibit.

this was from another museum.
i don't remember which one
but i thought it was cool.
that was a motorcycle way back when.

then after 4 days...we were headed back home.
