Washington D.C.
After yesterdays "resting day" we all felt much better today. We decided to make the trek to Washington D.C. today, well actually we drove to the Metro and then took that into the city. Brye really enjoyed riding the Metro, she called it the train. I told her that we had to go underground and she said that she would ride the train but didn't want to go underground. Well we got on and when it got dark I told her it was like a big tunnel and she was happy about that. She wanted to ride the Metro all day but we had things to see. 
Peter had been to D.C. a long time ago when he was little but this was my first time here. First we got some food so we had some energy to keep moving in the cold. We walked around a little bit and first saw the Washington Monument. We didn't go inside because there were only certian times you could visit and we were going to meet up with Steve later. After that we walked down to the WWII Memorial and looked around at all the plaques and engravings. The weather was so so so cold today so we tried to keep moving and sometimes between the buildings or near water it was a lot windier so we tried to stay out of the wind. 
The temperature was about 40 degrees but we were all bundled up so we weren't too cold. 
We started to walk down to the Lincoln Memorial but that is when Steve called so we headed back towards the Metro. On the way we Brye got to meet a patrol horse named Super Charger. She really liked her and the officer even let her pet her. I am pretty sure that was Brye's favorite part of the day. Then we met up with Steve at another station and he picked us up and took us to his office on base. He gave us the whole tour and showed us all the cool stuff that has been there forever. It was all really interesting but by the end we were all ready to go home for dinner. Inspite of the cold we still had a really great day.
