Not only did we get to roll eggs on the presidential South Lawn, but we also got to visit friends and celebrate Easter with my mom. We left early Saturday morning and arrived at Reagan airport at 8 am. There is a great non-stop flight from Bangor to DC and in less than 2 hours we had arrived at our destination. Jack was great and extremely chipper for being up since 3:30 in the morning.
He insisted on bring his earmuffs-just in case the plane was loud...
That night we met some friends for dinner in D.C. One was an old college friend of ours and the other graduated HS with Bryan and is co-owner of the restaurant Sixth Engine where we had dinner. If you are ever in the D.C. I highly recommended it! The atmosphere was great and the food (and beer) were superb! So great to see some old friends.

Sunday was Easter and Jack was busy in the morning hunting for eggs and playing with his cousins from Maryland.
While at his memere's Jack loved playing with her candles. He would take them off, put them back on. Take his little tractors and push them around the table. Well when he woke up Easter morning and discovered that they had been replace by eggs. He thought that was pretty silly.
Monday was the day of the Egg Hunt, but since we didn't have to be there until late afternoon we decided to do a walking tour of some of the monuments.
Lincoln Memorial
Jack was pretty impressed by the big buildings
Exact spot where MLK gave his speech. I got chills standing here
Dr. King's view while giving his "I had a dream" speech
View of the 'big pencil' as Jack called it
Thankfully Jack decided to take a little power nap while we were there.
WWI monument
Korean Monument
WW II monument
Wind started to pick up a little while we were there and it started to sprinkle. Luckily the sun returned by the time we arrive at the White House
