Our Nation's Capital

We are currently in Washington DC for a quick few days of sightseeing before we head off to the beach with Tim's family. The weather is very warm, sunny and humid but I am NOT complaining. We went on a tour of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and saw how US currency is printed...it is quite a detailed process and very interesting too! In order to get tickets for the tour we had to wait in line at 630am for ticket opening at 8am. We were told tickets go fast and are usually gone by 9am so we had to make sure we didn't miss out!

Here are a few other photos from our trip so far.....the Washington Monument, The White House and the Capital building.
