Washington DC

After Gettysburg, we headed into Washington DC. It was so exciting! It was everyone's first time besides Dad.
Our first evening in DC, we walkted down to see the White House. Pretty cool!

Austin got his picture.

One of the evenings, Mom, Dad, Kate, Austin, and Scott went down to see the monuments at night (Washington, Lincoln Memorial, WWII, MLK)

After a full day of museums (and throwing up), Logan was ready to head back to the hotel. We were a couple of miles away still, so Mom, Logan, and Kate took e-scooters back to the hotel. Logan enjoyed and afternoon of watching Bluey.


This is the view from the roof of our hotel, so beautiful!

The pool was on our roof in DC, This is Ty on Austin's shoulders and Logan on Scott's shoulders having a chicken fight.

Dad was always playing with the kids in the pool (and we had a pool at every place we stayed).

A major highlight in DC was all of the Smithsonian museums. This was the Museum of American History and was so cool.

The Thomas Edison section was very interesting and we had to go through since Ty did a big report on Thomas Edison last year.

This was a common sight. We walked 12+ miles per day and the big kids helped piggyback Logan around.
This is Scott carrying Logan.

Ty was excited to see a restaurant called "The Smiths" like his besties.

We went to the National Archives to see the Declaration of Independence. 
This is Austin

We got to go on a tour with some Utah representatives. Here we are in front of the Supreme Court
