Good Times in D.C. with the Grandkids

Okay, so the cherry blossoms are not yet in full bloom,

yet there were about a gazillion tourists on the capital mall anyway.

Are we nuts??? Why were we there today???

Because it's not everyday we can show

the Minnesota grandkids

and our Julie the nation's capital.

There were 22,000 children who got to roll Easter Eggs

on the White House lawn this morning. But there were only 2 children who had their own egg roll

on the mall in front of the Natural History Museum. Tate won when Hunter's egg did not cooperate.

Whoa....guess who we meet at the Air & Space Museum??

Union Station Food Court has the best Reuban's according to Nana.

Julie and Papa agree...

Iraq is what they hear every night on T.V.

Vietnam was their grandparents' war.

Sacrifice transcends generations.

What a day we had!!

Tomorrow the capitol!!!!!
