Monuments, Museums and Hurricanes-- oh my!

We had to squeeze in one more trip before Scott starts his new job, so we went to visit a bunch of college friends who live in the Washington, D.C. area.  Rosie enjoyed several of the Smithsonian museums and a trip to George Washington's home at Mount Vernon.

As luck would have it, we were there when Hurricane Irene hit the east coast.  Thankfully everyone was safe, we only lost power for about 8 hours, and we could add "Baby's First Hurricane" to Rose's list.  Due to the weather, the official dedication of the new Martin Luther King, Jr Monument was postponed, but it was open to the public and we got a good view.
