Caden Goes To DC!

On our first full day in DC, we headed downtown to the mall to see the monuments and memorials. It was sure a spectacular site! It was also nearing 90 degrees and none of us are use to that kind of heat, especially Caden. David and I LOVED and welcomed the sun but Caden had a tough day. It was just too hot! Good news is, he nursed at most of the monuments and memorials, so we were able to sit and enjoy the sights! Also, he was so exhausted by the end of the day that he slept like a champ!

Caden rides the metro and watches the map to make sure we are going the right way!
