Today was all about monuments and museums. The weather was nicer after the rain, and we slept in a bit later than we did the first day :-) (Thank goodness!)
We started with the National Gallery of Art, since Somer is an art genius and could really appreciate their collection. Cassidy and I worked through the student workbooks for American, French, and Dutch art. I was very impressed by all the secret learning disguised as fun that they have for kids to do at these places!
After that, we went to see the Hope Diamond, to which Cassidy exclaimed, "I want one!" Then down to lunch, and off to see the monuments. She was a little trooper and never once whined or complained and just kept chugging along, walking an impressive distance! That night: more cheese pizza.

Sunday, we went to church, FaceTimed with her Mom and with Grandma, visited Arlington Cemetery, and then for the grand finale, we went to the Wizard of Oz. The look of glee and enchantment on her face was too precious for words! It was the perfect weekend and I miss that little munchkin like crazy!
