Damons in D.C.

We went to D.C. in May to celebrate Paul and Kathryn's 35th wedding anniversary.

 It is a truly incredible city!! 

We went to see the play "1776" at Ford Theatre. It was very well done!

This was in the bathroom at the theatre... I am half tempted to take all of pennies and recreate it.

The box where Lincoln was shot.

The lighting was horrible but behind Matt is the recreation of a GIGANTIC snake! I cannot believe this thing used to exist...can you imagine a snake that feeds on gators?! The common garden variety creep me out!

Kathryn and I made a pit stop at this crepe stand on our way to the bus bound for Mt. Vernon.

My banana nutella crepe was epic!

Outside of Washington's home at Mount Vernon

DC Temple

We happened to be in town for Passport DC when 40 embassies opened their doors to the public. We had to take a pic at the Embassy of Trinidad and Tobago for my cousin Bryant who served a mission there!

The Monuments by Moonlight tour is lovely.

Matt cheesing it with FDR while I pose with his dog Fala

Capitol Building

In front of the Supreme Court

Matt LOVED the National Air and Space Museum

I will give you one guess on who begged to see "A Song For The Horse Nation"...

Momma Damon in front of the beaded bug!

Vietnam Memorial

Papa Damon at the WWII Memorial (one of my favorites!)

 Beyonce is to Matt what David Beckham is to me...hose who know me will now have an understanding of the depth of Matt's admiration.

 I rode the "Metro" for the first time. I highly recommend this route of transportation for my fellow people watchers...

 We saw Capitol Steps...not gonna lie a vast majority of the jokes were a little over my head but the ones I got were funny and Matt and his parents were rolling the entire show! ;) I guess I need to brush up on my politics.

It was a wonderful trip jam packed with tours, museums, amazing food, and other outings and we still did not see the half of it. The Holocaust museum was both my favorite and least favorite. It is so well done and incredible to hear and see this story from the people that went through it but it breaks your heart that man can be so heartlessly cruel to one another. We were able to see a lot and even met up with an old friend of Matt who was there on an internship. I also discovered that no one can flag a cab quite like my Father-in-law. 

Not going to lie I was quite proud of myself on not losing my camera, wallet, or phone this entire trip. Well at least until we were headed to the airport and my ID was nowhere to be found!!!!!

Thank You TSA for letting me get home!
