The National Mall

We spent a lovely morning in the city taking in some of the sights around the Mall. Such fun.....

The three of us at the Lincoln Memorial looking back at the Washington Monument

The boys on the steps

Daddy and Payton with President Lincoln

Karl posing me like a dork

We took a picnic lunch and enjoyed a stop in the shade before we headed into the Museum of American History

The museum trip wasn't planned. We went in to check out the trains and will go back at another date to see the rest. It is an AMAZING museum!!! Collin did find the C3PO costume from Return of the Jedi...that was a highlight for him (though he probably would have been happier with Princess Lea and her gold bikini!).

What a fun day! I love a day at the Mall just seeing where your feet take you. And I love that the museums are FREE, so you can just pop in without feeling guilty if you don't "get your money's worth". (Or is that just me?) ;)
