Washington DC, Day 1

Uncle Joshie was back on the East Coast for a work conference this past weekend and the three of us were able to head up to the DC area for a visit.  Although Jackson is too little to really appreciate the sights, he sure loved having all the extra attention from family, friends and random strangers!!  

We were on our own for the first day and it was cold, so we spent the majority of the day in museums.  We visited the National Gallery of Art, Modern Art Museum, Sculpture Garden, Holocaust Museum, and finished with the Washington Monument and Jefferson Memorial.  Jackson got lots of quality stroller time and made friends with all the museum docents.  I think he made each of their days!  He even was declared a future artist by a local who was painting in the one of the galleries.  

Around mid-day we stopped for a local lunch of lobster and crab rolls.  Jackson would have gladly partook of such yummy seafood, but he had to settle for one of his own favorites, peas!

You can't see Jackson in this picture as he has fallen fast asleep in his stroller as the long day wore on and yet we were still out and about even though it was his bedtime.
