May parents came to visit a couple weeks ago. Since we just saw everyone in December we were not expecting any visitors for a while but we were pleasantly surprised when they told us they were coming!! We planned a jam packed schedule for them since we didn't really do much last time they were here.
Straight from picking them up from the airport we headed straight up to DC to spend a couple days. You really could go there every weekend and see something new!
The Capitol. My favorite part of the whole DC trip. We got to do a tour of inside the Capitol...super sweet! It was like being right back in Social Studies learning about the House and the Senate. There is an imaginary line in the middle of the Capitol that they literally do not ever cross. Crazy!!
This is the inside the top of the dome...this is also the room where Presidents who have died lay and people come and pay their respects before they get buried.
Supreme Court...Noah's fav.
Our niece mailed us a Flat Stanly to take pictures with for her class project. He made it all the way to the Lincoln memorial!
The view of DC from Arlington Cemetery.
Next on the agenda was Williamsburg.
We walked through the Colonial Williamsburg, ate at the yummy Cheese Shop, drove through William and Mary, went to The Christmas Mouse store, and shopped at the Outlets...all in one day!!
This is out of order but we drove by the DC Temple so my Mom and kids could see it for the first time. Amazing as usual. It would have been great to go in if we had more time.
My Dad had been wanting southern fried chicken all weekend so we ended our trip with a yummy but seriously greasy need to take a shower now dinner.
I'm so thankful my parents could come see us and love that they took time out of their busy schedules for us. It meant a lot!!!

That looks like a blast, your parents are the best! I want to come back, luckily you aren't staying too much longer. Plus we are going to D.C. in july with my dad!
Looks like a perfect trip! I can't believe how big the kids are getting. I'm so glad you've had so many visitors out there. I know you guys love it. I'm so happy you're happy!
So fun your parents got to visit again!! I'm so jealous of your trip to DC though! Looks like you guys had a blast. When Ben was a senate intern one of his jobs was to give tours of the capitol building!
