Virginia Vacation

Thank you to my brother Allen for hosting us at his place in northern Virginia. We spent 5 days with him and he was kind enough to let us take over his bachelor pad and turn it into a 5 ring family circus ;) We spent time in Washington D.C. taking in all the sights, museums, and Arlington National Cemetery . . WOW what a humbling experience.
Here is the ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers called "Changing of the Guards".
Blake LOVED seeing real soldiers and was impressed with ceremony; however, Max slept and Bryce was hot, hungry, and annoyed (typical).
We loved the sunny 80 degree weather everyday, it is so beautiful in Virginia right now with everything in bloom. Here we are taking a break under a Cherry Blossom tree in Arlington Cemetery.

Since the weather was so nice we spent as much time outdoors as possible. We found a cute little park that we had all to ourselves where we enjoyed a picnic lunch and playtime on Easter.
Bryce likes to strut his stuff

Max was intrigued by grass

Just another day with coordinating shirt . . ahhhahahahaha

We had a lot of fun in the Discovery Room at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History

We had a fun family vacation and are already missing the Virginia sunshine.
Thanks again, Allen!!
