Hannah, Alex and I decided to make the trek to D.C. today to take advantage of the cool temperatures and our last unscheduled day before school begins.
We had no agenda. The plan was to drop Scott off at the Capitol, park the car and start walking. We ended up walking over six miles! Here is a quick snapshot of our adventure:

We feel like we got our money's worth - especially since we found out the parking garage, which is usually $22, only charges $13 for Hybrids on Friday. Whoo Whoo! Everything else was FREE - except for the hamburger at Ollie's Trolleys but it was worth every penny!!
What a fun Day!!!! (Poor Tyler missed out but sure he is having fun too) I am personally impressed by the turtle!!! (:
