VA trip 2


One of my favorite places to visit when I go home - the National Mall in DC. It was a beautiful day and we had a wonderful time. Above Tori is doing her impression of the Washington Monument.

We loved the Natural History Museum with it's butterfly exhibit and Tori loved the precious jewels exhibit and getting to see the Hope Diamond. Her first comment when she saw the diamond was, "That's a small diamond." I pity her future husband. :)

James liked eating the tickets to the butterfly exhibit and Tori was determined to get one to land on her finger. They really were beautiful.

My childhood favorite was always the Air and Space Museum. Tori was excited to go there, too, since she says she wants to be an astronaut when she grows up.

Above is how James spent most of his time at the Air and Space Museum.
Above Tori is flying around on her Grandma plane. Below we are all riding the carousel on the mall. It's a pretty fast carousel and it was quite a long ride - fun way to end the afternoon.
