Yesterday we thought that we would take the kids down to D.C. Noticing the rain clouds, we wisely brought three umbrellas along, which would have been especially wise if we had remembered to take them out of the van, which we didn't. We were only mildly wet at the JFK memorial,
but by the time we came to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, we were completely soaked! The rain was seriously pouring harder than a shower head.
After we ran the mile route back to the van, the chilled kids were left with, ahem, slightly decreased patience for our field trip. So after drying off in the car (and watching the storm pass by momentarily), they were only up for a fifteen-minute stop at Washington Monument
(with some bonus views!).
So we'll have to make it to D.C. another time, which brings up a great point: if any of you dear friends are thinking about coming to the area for some sightseeing, we'd love to host! Seriously.

Hey that happened to us when we went to D.C. Except that we were at the Lincoln Memorial when it started pouring. That was before children, though, and it was really fun!!!
Hahahaha, that's really funny. Because the exact SAME thing happened to us when we were in D.C.!! What's with that place?! We didn't have kids either though. I'm extremely impressed by your ability to bring and forget the umbrellas.
Jacob looks so mature and handsome - what a stud! I can't believe he is starting kindergarten this year. Where has the time gone?
Amy, it's been so fun to read your recent posts and keep up with your adorable family (downpours and all). Can't wait to hear more adventures.
