Homeward Bound

 Waiting for the Bellman to get our luggage and head to Dulles International Airport.

 Waiting for Daddy to pick us up at SFO.

Still waiting...

 Last evening in DC, we had dinner at the Willard Hotel right next to our hotel.  

The Willard Hotel is the oldest hotel in DC.

 A little later in the evening.

 Root beer floats.

 Root beer floats all around.

Having too much fun after too many Root beer floats.

US Capitol in Washington DC

 Our US Capitol...we really want to walk up the steps, but that wasn't allowed.  

Oh well, pictures will suffice....for now.  

National Gallery of Art

Not as kid-friendly as most of the other museums, but still fun ;)

Twilight Tour of Washington DC...would do it again.

Getting on the double decker tour bus at 6:30pm...and returned to our hotel at 11:00pm.

 Hard to see but that is Marine 1 in the air.  President was quite possibly on board.

In front of the National Archives Museum.  Best time of year to come because we didn't have to stand in line to see the Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights and the Magna Carta.

No Intro Necessary....
