The White House and More...

Yesterday was a fun and very full day. We got up super early to drive into D.C. during peak traffic time for our tour at the White House. It was set up by a good friend of ours and we meet them down there. It was a lot of fun to see kids get into each room and why many of the rooms were named after a color. No, we didn't run into "the man" while we were there as he and his family were getting ready to leave on vacation. But it was fun to feel the history of that building and all that it represents.

Next I took the kids to the outlet mall on the way home for some school shopping. It was fun to see how they entertained themselves as I did the shopping. They even met new friends during our stay at Old Navy...

Then we got home just in time for a few minutes of playtime outside in the backyard till a storm came rolling. We sat in the garage in the back of our suburban to watch the lightning storm and rain. A double rainbow followed the rain as we all got ready for bed after a very early and fun day.
