Drew just got home on Wednesday from a 5 day trip to Washington DC with my Mom and Dad. An early 10th birthday gift for him.
They had a terrific time. Drew came home with more knowledge about DC than I ever expected. So cute to hear him tell all about it. He loved every minute of it...even dressing up everyday.
Here are some pictures from his adventures...
In front of the white house before their tour.
At the Capital in Congressman Paulsen's, from MN, office.
On the Capital steps with the Congressman and Grandma and Grandpa. They are friends with Mr. Paulsen which was a fun connection too for tours etc.
The Lincoln Memorial with Grandma and Grandpa.
From the top of the Washington Monument...notice there is a guy mowing the White House Lawn which Drew thought was very cool.
This is the house I lived in from birth to age 2 in McLean, Virginia. I was born in Washington DC. :) For those of you who have seen our house in Waukee, it looks remarkably similar which I think is pretty funny.
My favorite from the whole trip....Grandpa (Roy) walking and talking with Drew (Andrew Roy) after touring the white house. Cut off the same block...
We cannot thank you enough Mom and Dad, for this gift. Such a blessing for Drew to see DC this way but more importantly what a blessing for him to have 5 days of undivided attention from his grandparents. Memories that will NOT be forgotten.
