Our lincoln memorial experiance

We were enjoying absolutely everything about the Lincoln memorial until a tourist asked if she could take our picture for us. It was a nice gesture so I handed her our camera and she had snapped a couple pics when it happened. Our poor camera fell onto the hard marble floor of the Lincoln memorial. It all happened so fast that I literally had no idea what was happening. Before I knew it we were rushing over trying to quiet her down and stop her profanities :) We tried to assure her that a broken camera was no big deal and that a camera was completely replaceable.

As we walked away our camera started to choke and rattle a little and actually turned on! Now when we try to use it sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. It is fine by us though because we have been wanting to replace it for some time. I laugh a little every time I see these pictures because they are the last perfect pictures we ever took with that camera. It is never the way I expected to remember the Lincoln memorial but I can't help it. That experience is forever en grained on my brain.

Cathedral in D.C.

Washington monument

I loved everything about this. I loved how you could see it from far away, I loved that it was surrounded by flags, and I loved how fulfilling it was to see it in person.

National capitol

Can I just say that this place is so much bigger in person? I had NO idea. Stunning too.

A day at the museum

I am SO into museums it is not even funny! We were lucky to spend a few hours at the Smithsonian natural museum of history while in D.C. and I was like a kid in a candy store. I told Brian someday we will come back just for the museums because there are 12 different Smithsonian museums. I want to see it all!
