Our family trip to Washington DC was so much fun. We saw the monuments, all the highlights, visited friends and family and ... can't wait to go back. After learning about the American Revolution, doing a report on George Washington, and listening to Hamilton 1000 times these kids were prepared for the city. Even with Mama on crutches it was totally worth it.

The Ritz Carlton Christmas fairy came the day after Thanksgiving and decorated the hotel into a Christmas wonderland. It was great to see since the Zavala kids didn't get their tree up until three days before Christmas due to the move.
We visited 3403 Commonwealth where Victoria was brought home from the hospital. She loved seeing this place and she loves being "from Virginia".
We talked a lot about the many wars that were fought including those that fought like their great grandfather, John Davis.
Mt. Vernon was a hit - they loved seeing all the animals that were on the property.
Fun times at Cousin Sam's - O'Neill loved seeing his guns and all his kills.
Writing with the quills just like the founding fathers.
