Butterfly exhibit and more

One thing that I really wanted to show my parents was the Butterfly exhibit that is in the Natural history museum. You walk into a room that is kept at like 80 degrees and at 80 percent humidity, but the fun part is that there are tons of butterflies flying around your head. Needless to say Ben went nuts!! There was a lady that was holding a plate of dead butterflies. Ben kept saying that they were hurt and wanted to touch them. It was really fun to watch him and see how excited he was to see all the bright colored butterflies. I think my family enjoyed it too!

We also went to see Mt. Vernon, but I never even took my camera out of my backpack. It was a pretty cool place. Ben was super tired, so it was hard for me to enjoy myself. Doug and I well have to go back and see it some other time.

These pictures were taken at the Franklin D. Roosevelt memorial.

There's nothing better than a drink of cold water on a hot day!



No matter how hard Valerie tried to keep her sunglasses out of Ben's hands, somehow he always ended up with them. Thanks for sharing Aunt Valerie!

I think this pictures captures the way Ben felt most of the time. Tired, Bored and Hungry!
