Our accomplishments for the day:
1) Tour the Capitol
2) Walk around the mall
3) Air and Space Museum
4) See the White House
5) WWII Memorial
6) Washington Monument
7) Dinner with Erin on U Street
The tour of the Capitol was great, of course. The main parts that visitors get to see is the rotunda and Statuary Hall. The Capitol has 2 statues from every state. The ones from Minnesota are of Henry Mower Rice and Maria L. Stanford. 
Us with Maria:
Air and Space Museum. We could have easily spent an entire day here. There is so much to see! Very cool.
The White House! We were bummed that we couldn't get a tour, but at least we got to see the outside. We also saw the presidential motorcade go by, so I got to wave to Obama!
The WWII Memorial is amazing. It is a powerful and meaningful design dedicated to the people that gave so much in this war.
The Washington Monument:
Meeting up with Erin. We got to go out to dinner and brunch the next day with her. She's living a good life in DC and I hope to visit her again! :)
