Our trip to Washington would not have been complete without a tour of the Capitol. thanks to Trevor's sister we took a great tour with an intern from the office of Rep. Flake of Arizona. Thanks Nicki!
One special event we went to was the "Blessing of the Fleet". This happens every year when the Navy blesses and pours water from the "Seven Sea's" into the fountains at the Navy Memorial.
Remember the Maine! This is the anchor from the Battleship Maine. We took many trips into Washington DC. On our last day we visited the Arlington National Cemetary. Below is the SeaBee Monument. Matt's favorite.
Our first day into Washington Matt insisted that we take a bike tour of the National Monuments. It was very cold and very crowded so we, Nicole and I, tried to talk him out of it. Needless to say, Matt stayed true to his decision and off we went. Dave and Nicole shared stroller duty with Lydia. She was too young for the trailer. It turned out to be a fun adventure and a great way to see DC. The only problem we had was getting around all the people walking. I tried to make a move around some pedestrians and ended up flipping over my bike. Yes it was embarrassing, but I was OK
