Here are a few pictures from our trip to Washington DC at the beginning of September. All taken with my phone. In good light it actually takes fairly decent snaps.
The first stop was the National Zoo. Gracie has been looking forward to seeing the pandas since we told her about the trip. Pandas are her favorite animal. She loves them. She has been telling us lately that someday when she gets her own room it is going to have pandas painted on the walls and panda sheets.
My dining companion the first night in DC.
The first night we walked from our hotel after dinner to the Lincoln Memorial. It was a beautiful summer night.
Taken after sunset. There is ridiculous noise from the low, low light and being taken by, you know, an iPhone. I like the noise, though. It is a cool effect.
This one I am going to print and frame. I really love it.
We went to the Museum of Natural History, the Museum of American History, the Air and Space Museum (twice) and Charlotte and I went to the Museum of the American Indian. Charlotte liked the Air and Space Museum and especially Skylab and the astronaut stuff. She and I walked back for a second trip on our last day there. I have to say, Charlotte did an amazing job with all the walking we did over 5 days. DC is large scale. We walked for miles at a time and were out for long parts of the day and she skipped ahead of us like it was nothing. My feet hurt most nights!
On our last day of the trip we went to the Maryland Renessaince Festival in Annapolis. It was really cool. Charlotte got this crown painted on her face.
