Fourth of July

We spent the holiday weekend in Washington DC visiting Andre, where he has been stationed the last five months. We met him at the new Smithsonian Air and Space Museum by Dulles airport. We all enjoyed the museum, it is pretty impressive to be so close to these aircraft, many which have fought in battles in different wars.




Andre's apartment is just outside of DC and overlooks the Pentagon as well as the Washington Monument and Capitol building. It was fun to be back in DC, our last visit was 3 years ago in March to celebrate Tristan's 6th and Calvin's 3rd birthday. Time flies!


We also visited some of the Smithsonian Museums on the Mall. There was a folk festival taking place which had Texas as a theme, so we enjoyed listened to several bands from that area while we walked around. The boys liked the National Art Gallery as well as the Natural History Museum which featured skeletons of the woolly mammoth and dinosaurs. Pretty cool!
