The great thing about living on the East Coast is that we are so close to so much history. We live half an hour away from Colonial Williamsburg and Jamestown, and just a few hours from Washington DC.
Last year we visited DC with my parents and a few friends. We did a segway tour and everything.
This time we didn't have other peoples shedules to adhere to or the pressure to go to as many places as physically possible. We just took our time and went to some of our favorite monuments and memorials. We had a lot of time to just sit and enjoy the city around us.

We spent a lot of time on the grass next to the Washington Monument. The weather was perfect and the company was alright, too. ;)

We stayed late and just walked around under the street lights. The city was gorgeous--definitely worth the trip.
Maybe I missed this...but what brought you guys to Washington? I love all your pictures. It looks beautiful and sounds like the perfect day!
ReplyDeleteSome of Chris's family lives in Virginia. We are living with his brother's family for the summer because Chris is working for him at State Farm. So we are only a few hours from Washington DC :)
