Washington DC Day 2

Wednesday we woke up and we were ready too start our first full day in DC. We had tickets to the Bible museum first thing that morning. We got dressed and headed out to eat breakfast in the lobby. We made our way to the Bible museum. We had to wait in line about 20 min before going in. Once we were in we really enjoyed ourselves. There was so much to look at. I felt like we breezed through some of the areas, but trying to keep 2 kids interested isn't always easy. I think Colby could have lasted longer, but Lindsay would get impatient. We stopped around 12 and went to the cafe to eat. The food wasn't great, but its pretty much what you would expect from museum food. After that we were ready to hit the rest of the museum. By 2 I think we were all ready to move on. We knew there was more we wanted to see. We stopped for Starbucks then made our way to the Air and Space Museum. It was nice getting that shot of caffeine. On the walk there we saw a lot of pretty trees and flowers. I honestly just enjoyed the walking outside and seeing the sights. I think the kids did too! We got to the museum and it was SO crowded! That has always been my least favorite anyway. There were so many people it was hard to get the kids involved and interested in any exhibits. We only lasted about an hour before we were all ready to go!! After that we decided to go to the Tidal Basin and see the Jefferson Memorial and the cherry blossoms. We ended up taking an Uber there b/c it had been a long day. Anyway I think that refreshed us all. After getting there I think we all felt revived and enjoyed the walk around outside. We took our time just exploring that little area. We even sat down a little while and let the kids take a snack break. we decided we would try the walk back though. It was a SUPER long walk, but we made it! I was so proud of how well the kids did walking on this trip. We went back to the hotel and freshened up and ended up going to Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner. It honestly wouldn't be my first choice, but it was close and I knew the kids could find something they would eat there. It was nice getting out. It was about a 2 hour affair so by the time we got back to the hotel it was time to get everyone ready for bed.
