Kaden Travels to Washington DC

Kaden had his first overnight trip where we stayed in a hotel last weekend, and he had a blast! My boss helped get us a GREAT deal on a hotel (her husband works for the hotel chain) and we got to visit Washington DC. We have TONS of pictures, but I'll just post a handful here. I'll post again soon once I get some video of Kaden's newest trick- sticking out his tongue! Sometimes it gets caught on his lower lip and the lip comes out with the tongue, but it cracks me up! You would have thought I won the lottery by seeing how excited I got when was able to copy me and stick it out!

Faidley's Seafood in Lexington Market, Baltimore. Best crab cakes & Rob enjoyed the oysters from the raw bar.

And they even had a sale on Rob...I mean hard heads :-)

We've discovered that the very hungry caterpillar is very fun to chew on

We couldn't get to the Capitol Building because they are building the inaugeration site for President Obama!

In case you forgot where the Capitol Building is located, Rob has a sign for you.

That hat was TOO CUTE!


My boys with a view of the Washington Monument

Rob & Kaden took a break at the base of the monument...

and this is the view from where they were laying

Part of the huge World War II Memorial. My Great-Grandpa served in the Army in WWII.

They had these big signs congratulating President Obama and people from all over the world were leaving messages of hope- it was really cool!

Korean War Memorial- My Grandpa served as a Marine in the Korean War and the memorial was beautiful.

Vietnam Veterans Memorial

In front of the White House right before the guards kicked everybody away from the fence. The President's dog was playing in the front yard and apparently somebody important was going to be in the area and they wanted people to leave immediately. I though 1 guard was going to arrest Rob when they split the crowd in half and Rob tried to walk towards the group headed in the same direction as our car! Thank goodness there was a nice guard who rode his bike over to us to tell us where we were allowed to go.
