Washington DC

Jason did an anesthesia rotation in March, which meant going to work early and coming home around 10am. Nice! We took advantage of his wonderful schedule to go to the temple and take the girls to the National Mall. The temple was so beautiful!


I haven't been to the Mall in so long, and I've forgotten how far apart the monuments are! The girls were most excited about the carousel by the Smithsonian museums.



My dad was a Marine, so the girls are familiar with the USMC emblem. Clara learned about the Marines in school and surprised us at dinner once by saying out of the blue, "Semper fidelus!" Her grandpa would be proud!(I couldn't get the picture in the center..?)



It took us a long time to find West Virginia.


It's surprisingly hard to get a picture of all 5 of us together!



It started out kind of chilly but turned out to be a pretty warm day. Here are the girls at the WWII memorial. Clara, the wonderful big sister, is rolling up Savannah's pants. We got ice cream after this, which was probably their second favorite thing.


This cutie just rode along in her stroller and on her daddy's shoulders like she had nothing else to do. She's so happy, as long as she's with her mama or daddy.
