DC and beyond

This isn't DC but I did think it was really cute because Eric is riding a bike way too small. Kyle told him to so they could go on a bike ride together and they did.

This was one of our first side trips. This is the house where Becky lived the first few years of her life. It is on a farm and the grandparents lived in the main house.
Our second side trip was a visit to Becky's Aunt Betty. We took her out to lunch, then headed to DC!! Laura is an excellent guide!!
These were across the street from our hotel. Becky thought they were nuns.
We spent Saturday in Alexandria. Laura and Mort are going colonial.
This and several of the following pictures are from a pharmacy in Alexandria. It had been around since 1792. In 1933, the family just closed the doors and walked away. Bottles still have stuff in them, and it has hardly been touched since then. I would have like to see more of it.



I had to take the pictures below for obvious reasons.


The poor ducklings could not get out of the water. Their mother would get out and wait for them but they kept jumping into the cement side. The water level was too low. Some thoughtful person placed a piece of cardboard on the edge, but they couldn't figure it out. Becky was trying to get their attention so she could help them. They didn't fall for that either.
Becky was excited to be staying so close to the Capitol (3 blocks). She got yelled out once for being too close-she was trying to look in the windows.
