Kirtons Take Washington DC

The 4th of July is my second favorite holiday- although it comes in very close behind Christmas at number one. That being said, it has always been a dream of mine to be in Washington DC for the 4th of July. Now that we lived on the east coast, this dream was finally going to come true! I was so excited! So we left for the weekend. Drove up and had ourselves a very wonderful holiday. Although, it rained all the 4th of July so our fireworks were pretty much a bright colorful foggy-ness. 

I told TJ that this only partially counted as my 4th of July in Washington DC. We will be back!

Here's a little video of the trip. Enjoy!

First, we had to stop for some sushi on our way out of town. The only way to start a vacation right :)

When you're 2 hours into your car ride and start to get bored...

I love the one lane, winding country roads.

Washington DC Temple

Cue giddiness!

We stayed in a little flat behind that Capitol so we felt like a local in the cute neighborhood streets.

Union Station

Of course we had to go to the Shake Shack!

The best buds!

Women of the war Memorial building

So tired from walking so much. The most we walked one day was 12 miles!

I LOVE these homes!

TJ sported the man purse the entire weekend.

Tomb of the Unknown Solider 

Felt like we were ported to Athens for a second

John F. Kennedy Memorial

Ted Bulletin- cutest hippest place ever!

They even had Mary Poppins playing on the wall!

Amazing Shake!

PBS Capitols Fourth concert

The cute room we stayed in behind the Capitol

Our Rainy Fourth of July

Dinner with the Grubers

Coolest bowling alley ever!

God bless our Nikes that got us around town!

Kennedy Center

Watching fireworks along the river. We finally made it to the Lincoln memorial by the end of the show.

God Bless the USA

Happy Fourth of July Everybody!
