How DO you do it? Were Stacy and her family able to keep up? Hopefully they'd been training before their trip. I look forward to the photos and more posts.
Wow, you are amazing! I love your list! I also can't wait to see your Do DC in a Day Post. We are coming to DC for the 4th of July and cannot wait! We will have four days and many advance tickets. I grew up just outside of DC and haven't been back since I was 14. I cannot wait to see my favorite city again!
I am amazed at how many pictures you take and the number of places you are able to make it to in such a short amount of time. Do you feel like staying in bed for a week now?
holy cow!! that was crazy!! now i know why you NEVER answered your phone WOMAN!! HELLO!!! tag your it! geesh!
rachel is FOR SURE coming Jan 17-21st to see the president get sworn in..im hoping i come with (most likely i will be) her hotel is IN YOUR CITY!! i have a cousin in laurel & a HS friend in Onley..are those cities close to you??

So fun Kristi! I loved the cute hippo with his red ball - very sweet. I've made some of these picture reels - how long does it take to load onto blogger? I've tried it but, quite frankly I must not have the patience to wait for it to load. So glad you had fun with family in town!
Every time I read your entires about DC it makes me want to visit even more! Someday I will make it there with my family. I will keep your list in my vacation folder. Thanks!!
what a weekend!! Our Sunday paper travel section featured an article with out of the way DC landmarks to visit. I am sure you have found them all but will send it to you anyway.
Loved the vid!!! I sooo heart Hippos!! Thanks for sharing, what a fun way to see them in action! Was going to finally try and take the tykes to DC this summer, but with my overly huge preggo belly and walking for long amounts, we will have to wait for another time, but I am sooo glad for all the info you have about the best places to go!!!
sounds busy! As far as I have heard, the WW1 memorial is only for those who served from the district of Columbia- there is no national WW1 memorial. Something to find out for sure! It is pretty tiny compared to the others!
