The Rest of November
November 18th, Athan had 4 teeth pulled to make some extra space in his mouth. It was to be 5, but one came out on it's own. He recovered very well, and very quick.
The next morning he was ready to go back to school to show off his new smile.
The 19th Cora turned 17! We went to Ocean City to sit in the sand and watch the waves. The kids played some crazy ball game that involved a pit in the sand, we strolled along the boardwalk, and enjoyed some french fries.
Thanksgiving Day we drove to Washington D.C., and enjoyed the Museum of Natural History. One of our favorite areas was the Gems and Minerals.
Friday we saw the White House, Union Station, Capitol, Supreme Court, Library of Congress, and visited the Air & Space Museum. Preparations were underway for the inauguration, so it was hard to get a good view of the White House. I actually got a much better photo Saturday from a distance.
Saturday we saw the Jefferson Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, Vietnam Memorial, WWII Memorial, Washington Monument, and visited the American History Museum.
The American History Museum was really neat, and we missed a lot of it. Phil could have spent the whole day with the steam engine displays. We will definitely have to return to go through it and other museums as well.
Sunday we made a short visit to the zoo. We were able to see the pandas, but we were all very tired.
It was a nice trip, and we are all looking forward to more visits into DC.
Thanks for reading!
