The Beach - Indoor Version

We went down to the National Building Museum to check out their Beach exhibit. While we waited to get in, William enjoyed playing with the oversized Legos. Once we got in, it took him a little bit of time to warm up, but once he did, William didn't want to leave!

Down by the Mall

Went down to the Mall to wander around. William was very much INTO the water feature outside of the Native American Smithsonian. It took quite a bit of convincing to keep him OUT of the feature.

Rock Creek Park Creek

William got to do what all children deserve a chance to do - drag a stick through mud and throw rocks into a water! 

Capitol

William has found the set of blocks that make the Capitol...and he got it on the FIRST TRY (not really)!

Kennedy Center Visit

 We recently made it out to the Kennedy Center to see a ukulele performance, followed up with a run through the water feature that popped up on the Kennedy Center patio.

Annual trip to the Botanical Garden

 

What has become a DC holiday tradition, we went down to the Botanical Garden on the National Mall to see their holiday display.

 This includes their toy train display, which William watched with fascination.

We also walked around the rest of garden, checking out all the plant models of the DC sights, including the Washington Monument.

Baby you're watching fireworks!

William proved all the critics wrong by not only watching the fireworks without crying, but also showing real interest in the fireworks! Probably didn't hurt that we had a great view!
