They never thought they'd see the day but Ma and Pa Jones came to DC!!! As I wrote earlier, they came down with me a week early and had a little family vacation. Here is day one of our journey:
On the first day we went on a tour of DC. There were only four people on the tour so we got to go in a van instead of a bus. Our first stop: The Capitol Building!
As we were driving I took a picture of the Old Post Office building for Darin.
Next stop: The White House! (P.S. That's not a cigarette in Dad's mouth, it's a snowflake! Put your magnifying glasses away!)
Next stop: Jefferson Memorial! When we first left the tour guide didn't think it would snow but by the time we got to the Jefferson Memorial there was already quite a bit sticking to the ground.
Before we left home Dad said, "I bet there won't be any geese there." Sure enough, we saw a whole bunch of geese! I guess God gave him a little piece of home!
Next stop: Lincoln Memorial! While we were here we saw the biggest snowflakes we had ever seen! Some looked like they were four inches long!
Last Stop: Iwo Jima Memorial!
We stayed at the Best Western Capitol Skyline. This is the view of the Capitol building from outside our hotel.
