*TRIP TO WASHINGTON, DC*






I had to go to Washington, DC to help at a conference for the military, so jay decided to buy a ticket and come with me. A couple of weeks prior to my trip, it got cancelled. We decided to go anyway for a quick weekend getaway.
We got in pretty late on Thursday evening, but we met up with some friends to have dinner. While we were eating, the waiter mentioned that Dave Chappelle was outside. Lelaine and I decided to go out and say hi. He ended up being a really nice guy, but he wouldn't take a picture with us.
Jay had put down that we were on our honeymoon when he booked our hotel, so they had wine and dessert for us when we went to our room.






Capital




Air and space museum. We saw an author that was a historian for the Tuskegee pilots. We bought a book and had him sign it for the girls.








We had to take the picture of the pig since Alexa loves them so much.<\center>





Lincoln memorial






First day we saw all the monuments. I always wanted to see the Lincoln memorial and the Vietnam memorial. Unfortunately, the reflecting pool was under construction.
