National Monument Trip

Christopher had a few days off in the beginning of November, so we went downtown. Here are the kids, again with our neighbors, playing on the National Mall while a man was trying to suck up the leaves. That made it more exciting for the kids. This is at the Dept. of Treasury. We just missed the last tour of how they make money, but we got into the gift shop (those are always available) and Christopher showed us how much money he is worth. It is actually how much money there would be if they stacked $100 bills to your height. I think he might be worth a little more than that. Mark was getting tired and refused to stand up next to the sign.

Here is good ol' George inside the Washington Monument waiting for the elevator. Let me clarify, that's us waiting for the elevator, not him.

Here are the kids waiting to get into the monument.

This was grandma's last day with us and a parting shot!
