Vacation

Last year I complained to Josh that I had gone the whole year without taking even a weeks worth of vacation days. So, this year we are going on a real family vacation to Washington DC and Virginia. We get to leave a week from today and I am so excited. So far this is where we are planning to visit and if you have any other suggestions, let me know:

• Smithsonian Natural History Museum (http://www.gosmithsonian.com/museums/national-museum-of-natural-history)
• Washington Monument (http://www.nps.gov/wamo/index.htm)
• Lincoln Memorial (http://www.nps.gov/linc/index.htm)
• Washington National Cathedral (http://www.cathedral.org/cathedral/visit/)
• White House (http://www.whitehouse.gov/history/tours/)
• Smithsonian Air and Space Museum (http://www.gosmithsonian.com/museums/national-air-and-space-museum-steven-f-udvar-hazy-center)
• Arlington National Cemetary (http://www.arlingtoncemetery.org/index.htm)
• Mount Vernon (if we have time; http://www.mountvernon.org/visit/)
• Alexandria (if we have time)
• Dumbarton Oaks (http://www.doaks.org/gardens/)
• Lexington Natural Bridge (http://www.naturalbridgeva.com/bridge.html)
• Annapolis (Josh's grandpa served on the USS Maryland and they have a monument with his name on it)

I am sure there are a thousand other places to see but we only have a week!
