Matthew and I had been talking about going to DC for a while, and we finally made it happen.  We stayed with friends in Alexandria, VA for most of our trip and we also spent a night in Baltimore visiting family and friends.  We had a wonderful time, even though the drive was  10 hours each way!!  Thankfully, I have an amazing husband who drove the whole way and let me nap occasionally in the car  Here are some pictures from our trip.

Matthew was taking my picture and this happy toddler wandered into the picture. I love it for so many reasons, but if I explain them, you'd think I was weird.

The obligatory picture in front of the White House

Matthew and his cash in front of the Treasury Department...The idea was funnier in my head.
