We started out at Federal Triangle metro station and walked down past the white house, then by the World War II Memorial, down the mall to the Lincoln Memorial. Then we turned around and walked back past the Vietnam Memorial, the Washington Monument and got back on the metro. We headed to Chinatown for dinner. Ellie did super. We took her out and fed her at the World War II Memorial and then she went back to sleep and didn't wake up until dinner time at the restaurant. She LOVED the metro...no carseat and a jiggly ride! It was a fun but very tiring day. We got back to the hotel and crashed.
Saturday morning we woke up and it was raining :( Jason signed up for a Photo Safari of DC...where you go with a professional all around the city and they teach you about camera angles, composition, etc. so he left early and my mom, Ellie and I stayed at the hotel and packed up. We decided to drive into the city to avoid walking through the rain. We were planning on going to the museums so wanted the stroller. We ended up circling around DC for about an hour with no luck on parking and eventually just parked in the Capitol parking lot. I decided just to hang out in the car and watch people, feed Ellie, etc. until my dad and the girls were done at the museum and Jason was done with his tour. It actually was very nice...we just relaxed and watched tourists take rainy pictures of the Capitol. On the way home we stopped at IKEA and got Ellie some very cool bowls in preparation for cereal! Ellie did super in the car and pretty much slept the entire time and then takes her bottle in the carseat. Overall it was a fun weekend and a great first family "vacation" (if you can call one night that!)
