Holiday Adventures in DC

Here's what we did while my parents were visiting for the holidays.

We went to the Udvar-Hazy Museum, which is the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum annex.

Checking out the exhibits.

My dad's plane.

My grandpa's plane.

This computer was used by the Air Force until 1990.
Technology fail.

The space shuttle Enterprise.

We also celebrated my mom's birthday with her favorite cupcakes: German chocolate with coconut pecan frosting.

We toured the Pentagon.  Luckily, we all had briefings planned.

And we visited my Grandpa at Arlington National Cemetery.

We toured the U.S. Capitol and sat in the House and Senate Galleries.

Last but not least, we went to Mount Vernon.

We had lunch in the Mount Vernon Inn.
Check out the wallpaper!

We got to tour the 3rd floor of the mansion,
only available for tours at Christmas.

Lady Washington was telling us about her
life and answering questions.

Whew!  That was a busy, but incredibly fun holiday!
