Mark has a tradition of taking each of the kids to Washington D.C. to give them the opportunity to learn about their National Heritage. This last February Alie was able to go. They went to lots of different places. This picture on the left is of the Vietnam Memorial. It is much different visiting D.C. today than it was years ago with Brittany and Mindy. They were able to go to inside the White House on a tour after waiting in line for a 
couple hours. Now it is much harder and takes a lot more preparing and planning to go inside the White House. One of Alie's favorite things to see was the Holocaust Museum. She has been studying that in school so it was neat for her to be able to see that. Other places they visited include; Capital, Air and Space Museum, all the main monuments, and the World War II memorial, George Washingtons house (Mt. Vernon). Alie was all museumed out after that so they continued on to a huge mall where she could satisfy her shopping needs. Alie experienced riding an underground subway. It was a great trip!

I bet that was so fun for you guys to have some time together. I love Washington DC. So...who is posting? I'm confused.
It was great to see the pictures. Alie has really gotten tall. We went on the White House tour many years ago and had to make arrangements through our congressman (we knew his assistant). I love going to DC. We're anxious to see you.
I did the post, I was trying to show mom how to do it so she could do it on her own.
Wow! That's fun. Ken's uncle is on the Vietnam Memorial. Ken is named after him (so it's easy to find his name there). That trip sounds like the complete experience. I would like to do that again someday.
