Aidan goes to Washington

Future senator... On our first day in D.C., we visited the Capitol building. Aidan learned about our founding fathers, E. Pluribus Unum, "Out of many one," and the fact that there's a crypt in the basement of the Capitol.

The top court in the land... The U.S. Supreme Court.

Sitting in front of the houses of Congress... waiting for the Kennedy procession... Well, we didn't wait too long, it was running about two hours behind schedule.

This is where they make the laws...

This is what happens when we let a stranger take our picture! Boys, look at the camera! It's the only close picture we have, showing the White House in the background. This is across the street from the South lawn.

Here's the front lawn, North side of the White House.

Aidan discovered flags this weekend! He loves them! Every chance he had, he made us stop so he can stare up at them. Here, he's enjoying the flags at the Washington Monument.
World War II Memorial... Stay out of the water! It's sacred grounds... We weren't in it, just standing near the edge of the walk-up.


Vietnam Vets Memorial... More flags. Aidan also noticed his reflection in the wall.
