Zachary heads to Washington D.C.

 Zachary was able to participate in a school trip to Washington D.C.  I was able to go along as a chaperone. Kyle was able to be a stay-at-home dad.  We left Tuesday night and slept on the bus as we drove to D.C.  12 hours later we began touring.  Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday were filled with seeing everything we could.  Friday night we boarded the bus and headed back to Indiana.  It was a busy, tiring, informative, and fun trip.

 World War II Memorial.  Each state is listed so Zachary and I posed by each we have lived in.  Zachary also wore one of the hats for a demonstration by our tour guide, Mr Ed.
