Day 24-As many of you know, Emily has Solar Urticaria which is an allergy to the sun. We have always felt very blessed to have chosen to live in a place where we never see the sun:) We were very worried about taking her to a hot and sunny place. Emily has done very well with the sun as long as she wears sunscreen but she decided to lay out at the pool without putting any on...and here is what happens.
Day 24- We met Chris for lunch near his work at Five Guys Burgers and Fries, which is very good, and then we walked over to the naval museum and some boat(I forgot the name). I wasn't too excited about this since I've been to the naval museum in Bremerton (boring) and been on many ships but the naval museum was really big and didn't even compare to the one at home. The ship, well, it was just like the rest, but the boys has a lot of fun. Jordan and Emily opted to stay home that day.
Day 25-Chris and I wanted to go to Gettysburg but the kids out voted us and wanted to go to Virginia beach. They have never been to an east coast beach so we felt bad and took them. Our beach here is too cold to actually get in the water. They had a really good time even though we drove in bumper to bumper traffic for five hours to get there. We were only able to stay for a few hours but we managed to play in the sand, swim in the water, we walked the boardwalk, ate at a buffet and then we had to start the long drive home. On the positive side, it only took us 2 1/2 hours to get home.
Day 26- We all slept in and then went to Church. After Church we decided to go the Arlington Cemetery. As soon as we got there Jacob threw up so we left the older boys there and took Jacob home. I was sad I didn't get to see the cemetery but I guess I have pictures.
Day 27-Jordan and I went to the Air and Flight Museum (I have no pictures), the American Indian Museum, the Sculpture Gardens and Museum, and the Smithsonian Castle.
Day 28-We had to wake up early to stand in line to get tickets to the Bereau of Engraving and Printing. Apparently this is the most popular attraction in D.C., I'm not really sure why, It was neat and everything but 7:30 was a little early. After the BEP, the kids took paddel boats over to see the Jefferson Memorial and Jacob and I walked over to see it. When we were done we walked over to the Holocasut Museum. This was a nicely done Museum, they didn't allow pictures, but I don't think I would have wanted to take any anyways.

Ooo...love the song that just started playing :)
Anyway!
Poor Emily, but I guess that's another good thing about where you live.
Looks like you guys have stayed so busy. I'm glad you were able to enjoy the beach even if it was just for a short time.
We really loved seeing you...I guess it's our turn to come visit you :)
