US Capital Tour

 Today we went to the U.S. Capital Building for a tour with the Leefes.  The Capital Tour is not very exciting for Hope, so she took over the role of photographer for the day to keep her interested. This is Hope's work :)

 We got to spend the day in DC showing the Leefes around. First stop, the White House.

 The Leefes loved all the squirrels.  They don't have squirrels in Australia and New Zealand.


 Lincoln Memorial.






 Vietnam Memorial

 Washington Monument



 American History Smithsonian Museum


 The girls love the First Ladies Dress exhibit.

 The Natural History Museum.


We put a lot of miles on our shoes today :)

DC Cupcakes

 We drove to Georgetown this morning with the Leefes to go to Georgetown Cupcakes.  They love the show on TV so we were pretty excited to be there.  The cupcakes are totally worth it.
