Washington DC

We were blessed to be able to go to Washington DC this summer as a family. I had a conference to (partially) attend: ESV, while also trying to meet with my professors from Holland and Sweden, to see if we can somehow work together.
Anyway, after the meetings, during which Jsoh took all 4 children on the tram into the city, I joined them all at the Smithsonian Air and space museum. I loved how DC has so many museums that are ALL FREE! Yeah, there is not much better for a Dutch girl than free stuff!!!! :) We took a double decker bus around the city, where you could get off at any location to visit any of the memorials or museums, and took a boat tour as well. SO many things to see and learn, the girls loved it, and so did we. I actually started getting interested in (some) history!

I believe this is in front of the Jefferson Monumnet, but my memory may serve me (usually) wrong.
