New York City
For the second part of our trip, we took the train to NYC. Here we are in front of the Labor Day parade on the streets of Manhattan. The next day, Sunday, we went to the Manhattan 1st ward for church. Mitt Romney was there, too. His son is in that ward and was blessing his baby son that day.
Manhattan skyline minus the twin towers. Our tour guide said the WTC was twice as high as these buildings here.
Rachel rode around Manhattan in this backpack. What a nice life! We had to walk . . .She's waiting to take the harbor cruise.
The New York Public Library. Look familiar? Ghostbusters, The Day After Tomorrow . . .etc. We also saw the Broadway show Wicked, which was incredible. Unfortunately, due to a downpour caused by Hurricane Hanna, we did not take any pictures.
Washington, D.C.
We went to Washington, DC with my parents on a special trip. Rachel and Aaron are just chilling in the airport, ready to head to DC.
Washington Monument
Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery. We saw the changing of the guard here as well.
Aaron at the Lincoln Memorial
The White House
This is THE plane Charles Lindbergh flew over the Atlantic in his historic flight. This is at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. I thought this was really cool. My favorite thing was seeing the actual Declaration of Independence and the Constitution at the National Archives. I didn't include a pictures though of the document, 'cause I thought that would be kind of dorky, since you can see a better picture online.
