Yesterday, we arrived home from several days in Washington D.C. Jeff had some classes he was taking for work and we decided it would be fun for the kids and I to join him. We had the evenings with Jeff and then the three of us explored the city during the day without him.
It was the kids first time staying in a
hotel,and their excitement was roof raising! We all had a fun time sleeping in one room together for two nights.Joost very much wanted to see dinosaur bones while we were in D.C., so we visited the National Museum of Natural History.
The kids loved the museum. I'm pretty sure we spent at least three hours there (and retraced our steps past the dinosaurs and the hall of mammals many times). It does have a lot of great stuff if you can get past the overdose of evolution that they give you in EVERY exhibit and description. And the elephant that greets you in the rotunda, is awe inspiring...very Night at the Museum.
We also had a lot of fun at the Air and Space Museum, The Old Post Office, the Navy Memorial and other stops along the way. Jeff was able to squeeze in a visit to the art museum on Sunday evening when we first arrived to see all his Dutch favorites.
We were very glad to be able to be with Jeff while he was away for business rather than being separated for three days. It is rare for the four of us to take day trips or any kind of vacation without others a long, so it was refreshing (even though Jeff was working most of the time) for the four of us to be away together and doing something out of the ordinary.
