Tyson and I just arrived back to the great state of Minnesota late Sunday night after spending 10 days in Washington DC. While much of the time I was lonely (he was at a conference all day every day, so I was pretty much left to my own devices) it was still nice to get away. Check out some of the highlights:
Tyson's first plane ride...ever!
Safe and sound at Dulles airport.
Sweet bubble tube!
Nemo at the National Aquarium in Baltimore
Mary Lincoln's dress
Dorothy's Ruby Slippers (on the Yellow Brick Road, of course)
Abe Lincoln's Hat
Some of my favorite jewels from the Smithsonian...like the Hope diamond...
...Josephine's (Napoleon's wife) gorgeous tiara...
...and a huge (over 22,000 carats!) Topaz
Nighttime in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia...there are no railings around the pier so I am just glad Tyson didn't push me in!
Waterfalls...
...and fountains.
Not only did we walk all the way TO the Lincoln Memorial (way in the background) on the hottest day of the year in DC (102+ degrees!), we also walked all the way BACK to where the car was parked...
Tyson in front of the White House, after we may or may not have seen Obama land in his helicopter.
It's hard to tell from this picture, but Lincoln's hands are HUGE on this statue compared to his body.
What this picture doesn't show is the long, hot walk back to where the car was parked...

Awww. Sounds like you had fun! Hope Tyson didn't need the puke bag on the plane :)
Thankfully not! He was like a little kid...if they would have let him up in the cockpit to talk to the pilot and get his wings, I am sure he would have.
