Washington Trip - day 2

Today we arrived in Washington, D.C.! Grammy and Papa are taking us on this trip for for Arwen's 13th birthday. We started by seeing the Washington monument, and then the Lincoln monument. After that, we visited the WWII and Vietnam monuments. They were very amazing. Then it began to rain, and so we went to the Smithsonian Museum of of American History. Then we walked around to see som other places, including the old post office, the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History and the National Arboretum. 
                                   

                                       Our first view of the Washington monument.


                                                          The WWII monument.


                                     The Lincoln monument was beautiful.

                                           


                                         The Vietnam monument was truly amazing.


                                    A model train in the Smithsonian museum.


Lorien met a nice man and stopped to talk to him. He looked exactly like a statue! And he acted like one too...


                                           Dorothy's Ruby Red Slippers!

                                         

                                                                   Kermit the frog.


                                                        The old post office



                                   A glass elevator inside the post office


                              A mounted policeman! Arwen was really excited.


Then we went to the Museum of Natural History. We saw an elephant...

                                      

                                                       Got attacked by a tiger...




                                     As well as seeing these interesting things.



                                      The flowers in the arboretum were gorgeous! 

                                         




                                        This huge tree was inside the arboretum!


                                                   There are plants everywhere!

                                      

                                                      Smile for the camera, Papa!

                                         

                                           Grammy found the orchids - she's happy now.
