This post is only a month late but pics are still as cute. My friend Alisa and her oldest son Greyson flew to Virginia and we drove the whole crew to New York City & Washington DC. The drive was pretty good except that we hit DC during morning traffic and it added a couple hours to our adventure. We stayed on Staten Island to save money and the kids loved it because twice a day we rode the ferry across to Manhattan and back again.
Here they are waiting to go over the first time
First subway ride
How many Arkansas kiddos does it take to look through the view finder?
Caroline didn't even make it until dinner. The restaurant was really loud but she just snored through it all.

Then it was on to Washington, DC. I love this city and was excited to share all the history with the girls. The liked the open spaces to run the most after spending three days in NYC and being told to hold our hands the whole time.
Looking at the Vietnam memorial, Alyssa Kate was very interested in the amount of names and those that were making rubbings.
So what happens when Wes is left alone with the kids? They use the marble slabs on the side of the Lincoln Memorial as a slide.
Proud of those who fought in WWII from Arkansas!
The cherry blossoms were in full bloom that weekend and added such a beautiful backdrop to this great city!
What's the best thing to do in front the nations capital? RACE :)
