Visit to Washington

Tyler and I went to DC for a few days with our friends Charles and Amy. Charles is in Tyler's class and Amy is a nurse at MRH too. We had a hotel in a great location right by union station so we were able to either walk or ride the Metro everywhere.
On Tuesday we went to the Red Sox vs. Washington Nationals game. We had a great time! I loved the "President race" during the game and we had a view of the Washington Monument from our seats. Then we enjoyed the beautiful night after the game.On Wednesday we were able to walk around Washington and see the sights. We walked to the White house, The Washington Monument, Ford's Theater, and then toured the Holocaust Museum. Tyler and I enjoy learning about the Holocaust and often watch movies and documentaries on the subject so we were really glad to be able to visit this museum. We even were even able to hear a first person account of the Holocaust from a survivor.
On Wednesday night we took the Marta over to Alexandria, VA. This is such a neat little town where all of the presidents use to live and play. We love walking around and seeing all of the little shops. We were able to eat at Gadsby's Tavern where George Washington loved eating with his friends. The food was WONDERFUL!

I just couldn't help myself...
