DC tours

Day 2:  On Sunday, the kids and I decided to just take a nice relaxing day off.  Monika, Arnold and the boys headed out to the city again to walk around. Since they were going to see the same areas we had seen a few years ago (and because I didn't want to haul the 3 kids around the city myself), we spent the day with family and all swam at the community pool!

Day 3:  On Monday, we woke up bright and early!  Thanks to my brother-in-law Paul, we had a special VIP tour of the Capitol building through the Speaker of the House's office!!!  A couple of Speaker Boehner's interns gave us a tour of his office, conference room, balcony, and walked us around the Capitol building.  It was real neat to hear all the little details about the building.

After the tour, we had lunch and headed over to the American Museum of Natural History.  We couldn't skip this stop with all the little dino lovers we have! We managed to do all this and be back at the Love's home by 4pm (Arnold's flight out was as 7).  
 
 Once Arnold was off to the airport... we headed back to the pool for a little more swimming!  Aidan even took the test to go in the deep end and passed!  He jumped off the diving board for the first time ever!
