D.C. Odds and Ends

Some photos that didn't make any of our vacation posts....

Packing - other than our annual beach vacations, we've never taken a car trip.  Packing was a challenge, but given the weather variation, it was nice to have the extra space.
Emily really wanted to go to the Mint.  It opened at 9 am.  We showed up at 8 am to stand in line for tickets.  Apparently, other people showed up at 6 am for tickets so after about five minutes, we learned that the Mint was already sold out for the day.  Lucky for us, Emily got over her disappointment in about ten seconds.

Our only photo from Richmond, which is a shame.  The Omni was probably the nicest place we stayed the entire trip, but were were there less than 12 hours.  Here we are, ready to go, at 7am.  These girls always have smiles.
I spent the first few days of our vacation looking for anything that said "Virginia is for Lovers" because I knew that it would make my friend Janet laugh - 20+ year joke.  What luck when we found this enormous sign! 
Emily used some of her spending money to purchase a new lamb in Williamsburg. 
We saw these hard working horses one day in D.C. 

We checked out Madame Tussaud's wax museum but the sticker shock prevented us from doing more than posing with Marilyn.
The girls got sweatshirts for souvenirs as we left Washington, D.C.
