DC | the mall

As a great surprise, Aunt Karen volunteered to drive back to AL with us to keep us company on our long trip!  Our first stop on the way back was Washington, DC.  Savannah has been so excited to visit DC, but after spending the afternoon walking around the mall, she promptly declared that she had "no idea that DC would be so boring." Apparently, looking at all these buildings was less exciting than she had anticipated.
 The WW2 Memorial
 
 
 And the VERY long walk to the Lincoln Memorial. The Mall is very deceiving. It doesn't look like it's that far in between monuments, but just ask Gage (who was crying about being tired because we left the stroller in the hotel room , which was really dumb on Mommy's part). All they wanted to do was pick up poop covered duck feathers on the whole walk along the water.
 Savannah was SO excited for the Lincoln Memorial, but once she got there, she wasn't that excited anymore.
 
 We got caught in some rain as we headed back, but saw some sights along the way
 The next morning, however, was sunny and beautiful!
