D.C./Maryland trip...part 3

 After waking up and having yummy breakfast with the Hampl's, we took the train into D.C. (to avoid getting more tickets). Nathan was VERY excited to ride the train.


 At the Air and Space museum.

 There was so much to see. Planes hanging from the ceiling, some you could go in, some on battleships and some rockets. They had the Wright brothers plane, and stuff from the Apollo missions.
Nathans favorite part was watching The launch and landing of the Mars rover. It was really awesome.
Anderson enjoying m&m's at the Air and Space museum.

 We went to a park that overlooked Fredrick. It was beautiful.


 All my cute boys.

Nathan started a stick collection.
Mommy got to be the one to carry the collection.
He was very disappointed when we only let him bring one back with us.
 Nate decided that they could launch rocks off the see-saw, like a catapult.
 We drove up to Baltimore to go to an Orioles game. They had a double header, so we got to watch the end of one game and most of the second game (we had to leave early because it was getting to cold and we didn't bring jackets).
We had pretty good seats, we paid $6 for each ticket.  Good thing, because we had to buy a $35 blanket to try to keep us (mostly AJ) warm.
 David and I got to go to the D.C. temple. A girl from the local ward watched the boys for us, for free. It was a great date night.

Why so serious?

After his Ninja Turtle ice cream.
We had such a great trip. It was so fun to see our friends the Hampl's and the Sherman's (and their cute little baby August). Hopefully we will get a chance to go back and see all of the things we missed!
