Quality time with the Folks

While David's parents were visiting we got around to several of the major tourist attractions in the area. We were able to visit the National Museum of American History, which has been closed for the past 2 years and has recently reopened. My favorite exhibit was to see the original Kermit the Frog muppet. We love the muppets!
We also spent some time on the mall, driving around and seeing some of the monuments.



Gettysburg is only about a 40 minute drive from where we live in Maryland, but David and I had never visited the battlefield before. It was a fascinating trip, and gave us a much better understanding of what actual happened during that battle and the entire civil war.

Unfortunately, David had to start his bar class, so while he went to class David's parents and I went to Mount Vernon. It was a beautiful day and the grounds and museums of Mount Vernon are amazing. Later that day we picked up David and headed over to Great Falls, a beautiful national park. We had a wonderful time, and hope we'll have more family and friends out to visit!
