New Year's in Alexandria

We drove down to Alexandria to see Phil, Erin, Olivia and Sam on New Years Eve. The traffic/drive was great! We got there in time to relax a little and then watch the ball drop. The Next day we went to the National Archives to see the Declaration of Independance. It was truly a pleasure to look upon such an important document. We also saw the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. We didn't stay too long, I am finding with kids all sight seeing trips are kept to one spot and not more then a couple hours can be handled at one time. In fact with Andrew I fight for the couple hours as he is usually done in one.

We didn't do well taking pictures this trip. We also went to the Holiday Train show at the D.C Botanical Gardens. Which was AMAZING! I took some pictures on my cell phone since we left the camera in the car, but I am not sure how to down load them. I will add the pictures later...Hopefully this year!
