After starting our day with a tasty breakfast, we went to Arlington Cemetary. We visited Steve's grandmother's grave and took the kids to see the changing of the guard.
We drove over to visit the monuments. We did rubbings at the Vietnam Memorial....
... climbed all the steps to the top of the Lincoln Memorial....
.... walked down the reflecting pool all the way to the Washington Monument....
... and visited the new World War II memorial.
A huge storm came up as we were walking around the monuments and we had to make a mad dash for the Jeep. We got in just as the rain came pelting down. As Steve was maneuvering through the CRAZY Washington traffic, Nanny got her phone out of her purse. She had placed her phone in the same pocket as a 1/2 eaten chocolate bar. The bar melted ALL over the phone.
We spent the next several hours in Grandpop's favorite museum, The National Air and Space Museum. All the kids enjoyed the exhibits.
