DC Trippin'

First Track on the DC Trippin' Mix - Beverly Hills Cop Theme

Wowza, it’s been a while since I’ve posted on here. Last weekend Riles and Tal took a fun little trip to DC. It was amaazazing. I’m always happily surprised at how much fun I have with my siblings. We just laugh and laugh and laugh … It doesn’t really matter what we’re doing.

We visited a bunch of museums/memorials, went paddle boating on the river (which I am thankful I got pressured into), traveled up to Baltimore for an Orioles game, got to see the musical 1776, and JUST ATE OUR LIVES AWAY. They might currently be clogging one of my arteries, but Shake Shack cheese fries are worth it.


 Starting the trip off by going to the Washington DC Temple: Good idea


Warmin’ Sissy up at Pizza Paradiso in Georgetown. At this point the famous Curran Deadpan was in full effect.



Showing off the nails



Pretty cool shot from Lincoln Memorial



This is as close as he could get to putting on Scarecrow’s hat….



I would say it's a fairly decent imitation.


The famous ruby slippers in the Museum of American History



The Bureau of Engraving and Printing … where they print the CASH MONEY. It was right at our fingertips.



Parkin it for some rest after doing a LOT of walking.



The Curran’s with their sleeping babies.



Tony would be so proud


Look at them appeasing me with those FAKE smiles.



Baby Lucas working the crowd



Hanging out at the MKLJ Memorial



This is them distracting the Library of Congress guard’s right before they stole the President’s secret book.



Welcome to Camden Yards baby


Nice Riles



Little guy LOVES taking naps in the front pack



View from Arlington Cemetery



 A beautiful Sunday stroll at Arlington


Tomb of the Unknown Soldier



We visited Mount Vernon, which MIGHT have been the coolest thing we did. Why, you might ask? BECAUSE WE WENT ON THE NATIONAL TREASURE TOUR. We got a special tour of the basement of Mount Vernon (Where Nicolas Cage kidnapped the President) and we had a special tour guide who took us to places on the grounds where they filmed.

 Quote of the Day: “I had a friend who was an extra in the movie, and she said that Nicolas Cage was even more handsome in person.”  -Betty the tour guide

And while we were there we decided that Devon is going to have her wedding reception there in the backyard. We’re all gonna chip in, Dev.



It rained during our whole tour … but we didn’t mind.



Many don’t know that Ford’s Theater shows actual plays and musicals. It’s currently showing the musical 1776. The three of us went and it was fantastic … and we sat about 20 feet away from President Lincoln’s box. Hey oh!



It's much more fun for Sissy to walk if there's a chance she'll get thrown into the air.


Sissy workin' the tree :)
