Family vacation!

Tonight my family is coming into town for a week-long DC vacation! My sister and her fiance are coming in to DCA around dinner time and my parents arrive a little later -- I am so excited to see everyone all together again. It's been a while since the four of us have been in the same place (I think the last time was Christmas of 2009) and it will be great to have time to relax together and enjoy DC. So far this is what we are planning for the trip:

- Visit the Natural History Museum (of course!) behind-the-scenes
- Go to the top of the Old Post Office Tower
- Visit Air and Space and the Udvar-Hazy Center (where they keep the huuuuge planes and shuttles out by Dulles)
- Capitol Tour
- Visit the Zoo
- See Eastern Market
- Go to the National Archives and have afternoon tea afterwards
- Wander Georgetown (and find the Kennedy residences)
- Visit Arlington Cemetery
- Wander the monuments/memorials (Lincoln, Jefferson, etc.)
- Eat at Zaytinya, Matchbox, Founding Farmers, Good Stuff Eatery...we are going to eat ourselves silly~

We have a few things planned but our schedule is pretty mutable depending on how we feel on a given day. The weather promises to be great and I can't wait to see my family again tonight!

When you are wandering the monuments you should hit up the Franklin D Roosevelt monument, quieter then the others and very nice.
