Washington D.C. Trip with Uncle Nathan

Chris took a one week class in Rockville, MD on the Nuremberg trials, so we decided to tag along and make it a family trip. Nathan was able to visit from Hawaii and come with us.

Day 1 - Friday: 10 hour drive (with the many stops) to Washington D.C.

Day 2 - Saturday: Chris' class in Rockville and a visit to Krispy Kreme!
Day 3 -Sunday: Walk around Washington D.C. on a very hot/humid day.
Day 4 - Monday: Chris, Nathan, Clayton, and Autumn went to some of the museums in the Smithsonian while Logan took a nap. After a quick trip to Arlington National Cemetery, we drove to Langley AFB in Virgina and had dinner at our favorite restaurant--Cheddar's.
Day 5 - Tuesday: Rest/homework day. Chris had a lot of homework to do for his class and the kids had a good time resting, watching movies, and watching jets take off and land in our large 2 bedroom place at Langley.

Day 6 - Wednesday: Busch Gardens in Williamsburg. Busch Gardens offers the military a free day once a year so we had to take advantage of that. =) We didn't get many pictures but we did get caught in the rain and Logan didn't mind a bit!
Day 7 - Thursday: Drive to Gettysburg, PA and visit to the battlegrounds.


Day 8 - Friday: Hershey's Chocolate Word for a tour of how milk chocolate is made and Hershey park for some more roller coasters.






Day 9 - Saturday: Chris' class, more Gettysburg, drive home.

WOW, what a trip! I was hoping Chris would give more info about Gettysburg on the video. (I know he could!) I sensed a bit of reverence while he filmed. I can't imagine all that may have happened there.
And the picture of Logan wearing the Krispy Kreme hat in front of the Now Hiring sign is priceless!
Miss you guys!
