In addition to our fantastic vacations to the Two Coasts, we spent 2.5 fun-filled months soaking up all our area has to offer. We have a fantastic neighborhood pool, and we went at least 2-3 times per week. The District offers so many awesome things for kids, it was hard to choose. We've done lots of DC things already, so this summer, we saw the National Archives (Declaration of Independence, Constitution, Emancipation Proclamation), the International Spy Museum, the Washington Monument, Georgetown Cupcake (TV show DC Cupcakes is based on this bakery), the Kennedy Center and monuments at night with friends. We spent time with friends from church and from our neighborhood/school. We went to Trivia Night and Vacation Bible School. We went to Kings Dominion amusement park and the Prince William County Fair. The girls and Peter learned to sail. We saw movies, had at-home movie nights and at-home game nights. We tie-dyed shirts and painted pictures. The girls went to two daycamps. We went to baseball games. We grilled out and went camping. Enjoy these photos of our summer adventures!
