Ron's mom works for IRS. For the last 11 or so years she has been sent out to different IRS locations to work for a couple of months at a time. We have visited her in the past in places like Atlanta, Boston, Cincinnati and DC. This 
is her last year since she is retiring so we decided to take the kids out and visit her. Noah and Jonah have each been a couple of times, but this was Hannah's first time in DC and first time on a plane. So here is our 10 day vacation. I took like 700 pictures but tried to pick out the best ones to blog.
She really did have fun. I don't know what this face is..... I think she gets sick of mom taking pictures of her.

Independence Hall where the Declaration was signed. So Hannah got car sick on the drive up to Philadelphia and threw up in the car. We found a 7-11 and Ron bought her a shirt to wear. It says something about opening a can of Whoop A** on the front so all the pictures from this day have her lovely message there for all to see. Nice. You will notice after a while she started hiding behind her brothers cuz she was embarrassed! So was I!

Ron and Troy got Philly Cheese steak sandwich's in Philly!

Kennedy Graves. After explaing to Hannah that Pres. Lincoln was shot and killed and Pres. Kennedy was shot and killed she asked me why everyone wants to kill the President. She was very concerned. I was trying to teach her the history, but for her it was a little disturbing.
Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown soldiers
National Archives
US Capitol Building
Inside the Rotunda
Brigham Young statue. Each state has 2 satutes to represent them. The other was Filo T Farnsworth. Who is that you say??? He invented the TV.
So that was our trip. It was LOTS of walking. The kids were bored after a while, but I hope they learned something. :)
