Trip to DC

A few weeks ago we decided to head into DC. At first we weren't quite sure what our goal was going to be but it was just a nice day and we thought it would be nice to head into the city. We decided to try the National Aquarium. The kids had a good time looking at everything and seemed to like the alligators and snake the best. The picture of Ryland with the snake reminds me of Harry Potter because it looks like he is "talking" to the snake.


After the aquarium we decided to head over to the mall to ride the carousel. The kids enjoyed the walk over because they could use the "balance beam curbs" on the way. Let's be honest -- I think we all enjoyed that when we were little. : ) Kylee had her eye on riding the dragon instead of one of the horses. Of course there is only one dragon and we were second in line. I thought for sure the boy in front of us was going to for it so I quickly prepared Kylee to choose a horse. We got in and the kid went the other way so we beelined for the dragon and got it! Score!!! Then, the carousel operator told us that both kids could ride the dragon together ... double score! Although this picture shows more confusion than enjoyment, I can assure you that the kids had a good time. : )
