We got there later than we wanted to, and of course they hadn't opened the parking on the grass in front yet, so we parked a milke up in a subdivision and walked. The weather wasn't ideal(chilly, and drizzling on and off), but we stayed with thousands of other people for 2 hours. Below are some of the highlights of our time there..
Daddy & kids before entering part of the museum
Gabriel wanted his picture taken by the statues
A replica of the Washington home
This was cool. The house opened up so you could see the top level.

Daddy & Daniel before the gun shots
Part of President Washington's Birthday Celebration
Smoke filled air after they shot off thier guns(they did this several times), was not so good for our 3yo, as he cried even after we left this area for at least 20-30 minutes.

Alisha by President Washington's home( we didn't make it inside as it was very crowded, and the line was loonnng) At this point Daniel was in hysterics b/c of the gunshots as well.
