DC in a Day aka If you Don't LIke Walking This is Not for You (Jones & Co Family Vacay Part 9)

We literally gave Smash a crash course in DC monuments in a day, and in the 90+ degree weather this is not a walking trip for sissies.  But we lived at and I give you the photos from the DC tourist stops - lucky for smash we did not drag her to 13 Smithsonian's too...
I think this is a funny photo of Jono running up the Library of Congress and JJ grabbing his foot.
White House from Jefferson 
Jefferson one of my favorites I like it better not under construction and without people.
FDR I think I have some good video of this one too.



Jefferson and the Tidal Basin. Smash if you are reading this we need girls trip in Cherry Blossom season.
The newest memorial - MLK

Korean Memorial
Can you spy Joneses at the Lincoln Memorial?
One of 1000 photos I took of the Washington Monument I tried to capture it from all angles and places.  This is from the back of the Lincoln
More Wash Mon
White House - Obama did not invite us in.
Wash Mon from my napping spot
Wash Mon from WII
Lincoln again.

Is that the Wash Mon?
Jones thought he could cartwheel in front of the Wash Mon - however it looked a little silly

We had to have freeze dried ice cream like we were five although secretly we have this everytime we are in DC. Smash had never had it and I think she doesn't want to again.

Jones wipe lunch off your face.

Wash Mon from the Sculpture Garden
Wash Mon from the American History and there's also a spy there I wonder who that is.
I somehow changed the camera settings for about 10 photos and have all these "ultra blue" images. 

From the Modern Art


We tried to recreate a photo of course I can't find it but I'm pretty sure it didn't really look like this. However I love it.
Wash Mon in my hand

Botanical Gardens

Me plus the capital.  I wanted to call my congress man so he could fill me in on libya but I didn't have his cell handy. 
More Botanical.


This is a fun photo of us in front of the capital - that bun on the top of my head all day is hilarous but it kept me from melting.

Look what it is again - Wash Mon
I love this one
And me and the fountain at the Library of Congress

That last picture (the capital with the beautiful sky) should be a postcard.
