We had, of course, another swim party to celebrate Alexis' birthday. From left to right Mckayala, Maggie, Valerie, Alexis, Maria, and Sadie in the pool.
I still can't believe Alexis is in High School already. She had a really great first day. Her first class was Drama.
Iwo Jima Memorial.
Then to Alexandria for some ice cream. We're so excited! 
Old Post Office Museum, Nat'l Archives, the White House, three smithsonians, Iwo Jima, Old Town Alexandria...complete and total exhaustion. We both hope McKenna enjoyed her first trip to Washington, DC! Alexis has been friends with Mckenna since she was three years old and we're so glad she came for a visit!
This restaurant/saloon has been around since 1856. Presidents Grant, Andrew Johnson, Cleveland, Theodore Roosevelt and Harding, supposedly refreshed themselves at the stand-around bar. Their food is amazing.
Peanut butter pie melts in your mouth!
Then on to the Nat'l Archives to see the Declaration of Indepence and Constitution.
Nat'l Museum of Natural History. Where you can see the Hope Diamond, Jewels, Dinosaur bones. and much, much more. 
We also stopped by the White House.
