Washington, DC

Our visit to Washington, DC was short but we managed to see a lot of sights. There are far too many great photos to post here so at the end of this write up, there is a link to all the photos that were taken while we were in Washington, DC. I would recommend everyone come and visit Washington, DC. The museums and most of the sights are free which make family visits very affordable as well as educational. Our tour tickets for the Capital Building were obtained by contacting our congresswomen via email and we received free tickets for our tour as well as tickets to sit in on sessions being held in the House of Representatives and the Senate. We will definitely come back again for there were so many sights we didn't get a chance to see!
