My Birthday Trip

For my birthday Doug decided to take me to Washington D.C. for an overnight getaway. Mom was nice enough to take the baby for us so we were able to really relax. We had a wonderful time, here are some of the highlights.

First stop: the Library of Congress.

Next we walked by the Supreme Court which was next door. It was a nice day except extremely hot.
Here we are in front of the Capitol Building.
After that we stopped by the Botanical Gardens, The Natural History Museum, the Smithsonian Castle, and the Freer Gallery of Art.
Later, after we checked into our hotel and freshened up we stepped out to eat a delicious dinner at a Peruvian restaurant nearby and then took an evening walk to look at the White House. The next morning we went to the National Geographic Museum and topped of the trip with a visit to the D.C. Temple. We had so much fun, the break was really nice, and the best part was that all the museums were free!

What a memorable birthday! Doug's such a good husband, and how nice to go sans kid. You must've really missed the little guy though. How did he do without you? You must've had to pump a ton to leave him for so long!
