Mr. Atkinson Goes to Washington . . .

. . . and Mrs. Atkinson tags along!

The first week in March, Kevin was asked to speak at a conference for work. Many of you know Kevin finished up his internship with DCMA last year and spent 8 weeks in Canada. (You can visit our Travel Blog to see our adventure.) Kevin was flown out to Virginia for an hour to share about his internship and international rotation. I took the opportunity to go with him and see D.C. for the first time.

We saw most of the monuments on the Mall on Thursday afternoon. It was cold (for me, probably 48 degrees) and very windy. And then spent most of Friday and Saturday taking in more of the sites and some scheduled tours. Here are a few of our 300 pictures!

15 weeks in D.C.


The Smithsonian Air and Space Museum - We only visited the exhibits for the WWI and WWII planes. The place was packed with families on Saturday.

Arlington National Cemetery

JFK's Eternal Flame

The cemetery was too big to walk around - at least for me. I had been on my feet for three days. We saw a ton and still have more to see if/when we go back. We had a wonderful time.
