We got the work truck and took a fun trip down to D.C. with the kiddos. On our way down and back we saw at least 15 emergency vehicles. Charlie loved it! We went on a nice cold day, but it still seemed way busy. I can't even imagine how busy it must be in the summer. We did splurge beforehand and got a nice stroller that fits both of the kids. We figured that instead of hiring babysitter so we could take a few trips without the kids, we would just spend the money on a stroller. Charlie loved that he could get in and out of his seat/standing area very easily. We also loved it that the seats aren't side by side, but front and back since we wouldn't have fit in a few elevators.
We went to the Museum of Natural History. I loved all of the stuffed large game animals and the Hope Diamond. Charles loved all of the rocks and gems. The boys could have looked at the stuffed animals for hours on end. We looked at the giraffe and zebra for a good long while.

Charlie finally realized there was something cool above him.
We went to the American History Museum and enjoyed everything there. The huge steam engine was a BIG hit along with the train car that you can sit in. We sat in that for a while. Henry thought it was really moving so when he walked around in it he was trying to compensate for the "movement" and kept falling over.
It was a fun, super cold trip. After all of the walking I truly felt 7 months pregnant. I told Charles that we wouldn't be able to do another D.C. trip until after the baby comes because I am pretty sure all of the walking could send me into labor.
