We took a quick trip to DC the day after Christmas to celebrate Christmas with the extended Marshall family. The Gurnees--Pam, Robert, Bryan, Tyler & me--all drove up together and walked around several memorials before the evening shindig. It was a super chilly day, with lots of mist, fog, and puddles! It was a nice time walking around though. We visited the Vietnam war, WWII, and Korean war memorials along with the Lincoln and Jefferson memorials. Also, we took a short trip to the National Museum of Natural History to see the bees that can fly in and out of the museum (through some weird tube in an exhibit) and the giant tarantula--this is something the Gurnee-boys always have to do if they visit that museum... The dinosaur bones were super cool--I love the T-Rex!
After we were done walking around, we went to Aunt Nancy's house, ate lasagna, participated in the annual Marshall-cousin Polyanna gift exchange, then hung out with Robert's first year roommate (James) in downtown DC with some of our cousins! A very quick trip, but a good one, indeed!
