We decided to take a "break" day, which turned out to be a Zoo day. We all ended up super tired and we didn't last long at the zoo. We did see the "giant" Panda...although it looked more like "dead" Panda!! It was SO HOT, so I don't blame him!
The next day was probably the hottest and the most walking...at least the fastest walking! We had a scheduled tour of the Museum of Engraving and Printing, so we decided to walk around all the outdoor things that we wanted to see and then head back to the museum at 1:45. Well, we barely made it in time and we were DRIPPING sweat from our SPEED walk! This was still my favorite day though! We saw all the things I was the most excited about!!
First we saw the Washington Monument!!
Then the White House!!!
Then the Lincoln Memorial!!!
(By this point of our walk, I think I was the hottest and sweatiest I have ever been!)
Tyson climbed up on this cement platform and said "take a picture" and it would have been so cute if his eyes were open and it wasn't blurry--fail by Mom!
We stopped for a quick picture at the Jefferson Memorial. By this point, we were practically running to make it back for our tour time at the museum.
We finally made it to the museum. This is the place where money is made...literally. We had a 30 min tour (during which Summer was absolutely horrid) where we learned the process of printing money. Pretty cool. Tyson was in heaven.
The kids had some fun at the gift shop!!
After swimming that evening, Tyson came in with a mosquito bite on his eyelid. By the next morning it looked horrible! Luckily we got him some medicine and a day later it had cleared up.
