For our last tourist day in Washington, Megan joined us for a tour of the US Capitol Bldg, which we all found very interesting. Afterwards, we walked to the Library of Congress by way of the tunnel that connects the Capitol to the Library. Later that evening we took an after-dark driving tour around the town and saw many of the monuments all lit up. Seeing them after dark is an entirely different experience from seeing them during the day. The Washington Monument is much more spectacular when it is all lit up at night. Mom enjoyed standing with the Washington Monument behind us and seeing the White House, even though the wind was blowing and she and Megan were freezing their patooties off.... Jack thought he could see someone lower a shade in one of the top rooms of the White House when he was taking a picture with his camera using one of his higher powered lenses. Maybe...or maybe it's just a good story?? Anyway, we had a good time.
On Mother's Day we fixed a nice meal in our motel room (which had a kitchen). It was very good and we even had dessert....slices of chocolate cake. Jack had to fly home in the afternoon, but only after helping his Mom do the laundry. Actually, Mom walked with him to the laundry room and he did all of our laundry before he left. What a good guy!!
Megan spent the night with Mom, Dad, Cubby & I in the motel before we headed toward Pennsylvania the next morning. She also joined us for the next day in Gettysburg, as well..... more on that in the next blog.
We all miss Jack, but are thankful that he could spend so many days with us on our trip.

Fun to see the pictures of your time spent in Washington DC...It sure looked cold! Isn't it springtime over there yet?
Hey Jack, if you want to come visit us, we've got tons of laundry you could do!
