A Capital Christmas

My parents and brother's family all came for Christmas. We ended up out and about a good bit. My brother is not one who likes to sit around and sip cocoa. Not even when it is 20something degrees out with a wind chill in the teens.

We went to the National Archives to see the Constitution and Declaration of Independence.

We went to see the dinos at the Museum of Natural History.

We froze our booties off and walked very quickly down the mall....

We said "hi" to the Washington Monument (which was closed to visitors due to the high winds)...

And remembered the fallen at the WWII memorial...

We saw the National Christmas Tree...

And Ruthie was thrilled to see the huge Nutcrackers outside Old Ebbitt's (historic restaurant).
