Days 31 and 32 DC

We decided to take a break on Tuesday.  We slept in for the first time in a long time and we slowly got ready for the day.  Grandma came to Tina's for her piano lessons and so we got to visit with Grandma and Grandpa one more time.  It was just nice to relax.  Tayler, Emma and McKay went swimming for a little bit and had some cousin time.  It was really nice.  Tina and Lincoln took really good care of us.

Wednesday it was back to DC.  We had bought two day trolley passes so we needed to use them.  We rode up to the Cathedral and listened to all the history of the area on the way.  The Cathedral is of course massive and very impressive.  We went to the Basement and saw the different chapels and then we went to the 7th floor and looked out over DC from the towers.  Very interesting.

 After the Cathedral our driver took us down Embassy road.  We were literally whipping our heads back and forth :)  The driver was pretty impressive, he hardly took a breath telling us to look left and spilling the country that was in that embassy and on your right another embassy, all the way down the road.  If you have ever been there you can imagine what I am talking about.  We got a  pretty good laugh about it when he was done.

 Ford's Theatre, where Abraham Lincoln was shot.  Right across the street is where he actually died.  It is amazing all the history crammed into one area.

Spirit of St. Louis

We decided to go to one last museum, the Air and Space Museum.  So much information and so much to see.  One thing for sure I would not want to go to space.  The facilities are not to my liking ;)  Tayler said he would go into space.  I think the rest of us will keep our feet on the ground.

We had so much fun in DC.  Being with Family made it one of our favorite places along the way.
