On the train to Washington D.C.

After North Carolina, we headed up to Virginia to spend a week at Grandpa's house.  Caydin has been coming every summer since he was 1.  He even came without me last summer and spent the week with just Grandma and Grandpa.  This summer was Wyatt's first trip to Grandpa's house. I really wanted to take Wy to the White House because I have a picture of Caydin as a one year old in first of the White house on the refrigerator! 

So we drove up to Virginia on Saturday and planned our trip into DC for Sunday. Both boys were excited to ride the train! Wyatt was a little wild toward the end of the train ride though! Caydin just sat and stared out the window most of the way. 

First stop was the White House.  We took a couple pictures in front of the fence then found a field with a bench for Wyatt to eat his lunch.  The boys ran around and I took a couple neat pictures of them running around in the grass in front of the Washington Monument.  Caydin liked hearing the story of how he went up to the top of the Washington Monument when he was only one.  He had all kinds of questions about the monument and why it was under construction.  After a nap for Wyatt in the stroller and lunch for the rest of us, we headed over to the National Air and Space Museum before taking the train back!

 

It was a long, fun day!
