Subway Trumps All


Our trip to DC was pretty amazing. We visited monuments, took a step back in time at Mount Vernon, got to see the home of air force one, where the president goes golfing and get searched by the entrance guards at Andrew's. We learned about our family history, visited Gettysburg (which inspired the year's Halloween Costumes) and paid our respects at Arlington National Cemetery. But for the kids, nothing, absolutely NOTHING could compare to our the Subway.


Here is Naomi. She liked to hang onto the pole like the big people. She was so proud of herself.


If she wasn't holding onto the pole, she was looking out the window. Being above ground wasn't nearly as exciting as when we went underground though.


Noah did not like walking around the big city. He did not like riding in the wagon. He did not enjoy the monuments. He did like the Air and Space museum, but still not as much as the subway! I have to admit, I think we all enjoyed the cool air in the tunnels after spending the day in the sweltering heat.


This is my dad and my Uncle David. Uncle David was our tour guide extraordinaire. Without him we would've been lost in the maze of blue, yellow, and green subway lines. He also knows all kinds of cool facts and stories about history. When he retires from the air force, I think he ought to consider making professional tour guiding his new career!
