Addie Hits Washington DC...

Hey folks, we have made it to DC. I was a fantastic co-pilot on the trip out to Washington DC. I think I've got this traveling gig down pat. This is a busy, busy town with a lot going on and I haven't missed a beat. I've been sightseeing, shopping, out to eat and have even attended a wedding. I might be in a new town, but I have seen lots of familiar faces... the whole Newton Klan is here!
Mommy had a lot of fun at the Aero Space Technology Museum. There was a really cool exhibit, American Treasures, which featured items donated from past and present American cultural icons. Here she is attempting to look like she is wearing President Lincoln's top hat... silly Mommy! We saw the original Kermit the Frog puppet, Carrie Bradshaw's computer, Gen. George Washington's uniform, Dorthy's ruby red slippers, and much, much more! Mommy's big purchase was Jackie O. replica black sunglasses. She looks stunning in them!
This weekend was the kick-off for the annual cherry blossom festival in DC. The trees were gorgeous.
Nana and Grampy pose for the camera. They have been so much fun to travel with. Grampy is a history buff and is in all of his glory here in Washington DC. Nana, well she is better at purchasing "souvenirs".
The WWII Memorial was very impressive. Mommy took pictures of the Indiana memorial post, because both of her grandpas served in the war. Grandpa Newton was in the army and served in Europe on the Atlantic front. Grandpa Tovey was in the navy and served on the Pacific front. This was mommy's favorite place to visit with Grampy.
