Washington DC Trip

Recently Joseph and I had the opportunity to visit Washington DC. We had a great time and were able to visit many sites. Joseph picked out most of the places that we went and had a great time. He had so much fun riding the subway, taking a taxi for the first time, staying in a hotel and visiting lots of historic sites. Here are a few of our pictures along the way.

We visited several Smithsonian Museums (did you know there are 19 museums?). This is the Museum of Natural History, by far Joseph's favorite, and his next favorite was the Postal Museum.



This is Arlington Cemetery. I have seen pictures, but this was incredible. Do you know that they still bury people here? Between 18-22 people a day. We even saw a black wagon with black matching horses with a coffin in the back. The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and also the graves of President Kennedy and his wife and two children are located here. It was freezing cold but well worth the visit.



Now we come to the reason of why we came to DC. This is my little brother David and his beautiful wife Betsy. David has been back East for the last five months. He graduated from his training and my parents and my siblings all were able to attend his graduation.


He was voted by his classmates to talk at graduation. He gave an excellent talk and we are all very proud of him. Congratulations David, we are so glad that we were able to be there with you.
