We loaded up the kids and hit the open road for Washington, DC the week of July 4th!! We had been talking about taking the kids there for about 3 years ever since James and I visited back 2010. We knew we would make the trip again with the kids and we thought it was the perfect time especially with it being the 4th of July.....how cool is that!!! We had a blast and we all loved every minute of the trip! We can't wait to go back!!
