Next morning, we headed into DC.  Kids were super excited!  They loved riding on the Metro (or Subway as they called it).  First we went to see the Declaration of Independence and then to the Natural history museum.

We walked all the way to the Lincoln memorial, and it was a long walk and super HOT!!

Will was so happy all day!

Kids enjoyed DC but it was hot and they hated all the walking!
