Washington DC

Our oldest and youngest, they are the only ones that got to enjoy Washington DC.  It was also the first time for Jeff and I as well as for Elly and Garen.  Sweet siblings!

Our first stop was at the Lincoln Memorial.  A great man that did much good for our nation.

We walked all the way around this water.  Jackie was able to hold the Washington Memorial in her hand.

 The Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial was huge!  He did make a huge impact on American and especially black rights.

 Jackie loved looking around Washington DC.  She really enjoys American History.  She has a fondness for Franklin D. Roosevelt.  They had a lot of statues and quotes from his reign.

Eleanor Roosevelt was not only the 1st Lady to President Franklin D. Roosevelt but was also the 1st  United States Delegate to the United Nations (the 1st not 1st Lady Delegate, but 1st!)

 Garen & Jeff carried the stroller up and down a lot of stairs!

Thomas Jefferson Memorial.  I loved his quotes. They were all around the inside of Memorial.  He reverenced God many times.

Washington Memorial in background.  We are at the WWII Memorial, it was beautiful with fountains and memorials all around.

 Holocaust Museum.  We really rushed through it.  It was huge and free.  There was a neat area about the perspective from a little Jewish boy.

We ate a picnic right outside of the Federal Reserve Building.

The State Capital!
