Gretchen's 16th Birthday Trip to DC

On our 3rd day in DC, we had plans to head to the capitol building. 
We got up and grabbed breakfast near our Air B & B. 
And then we took an uber to the capitol building. 


As fun as the tour was, I really wish we would have had tickets to the galley to see the Congress and Senate in action.

Then we headed underground to the Library of Congress. 



Gretchen and I both got library cards so we could go inside the library. 


And then we stopped by the Supreme Court building. 


Then we headed over to Arlington National Cemetary. 

And saw the changing of the guard. 


We grabbed dinner and cupcakes! 

And headed back to our B&B for another early night- I will say the one disappointing thing is that everything closed so early, but we were also so tired from all of the walking, it was nice to turn in early! 

On our final full day- we had tickets to go see the White House! 

A quick stop by the archives building- the line was too long for us to make it in and then be on time for our White House tour. 

We headed through security and made our way in through the side entrance. 


The hall where the Christmas trees are. 

Gretchen found a picture of Olivia Rodrigo

The Green room. 

The Blue room. 




And back outside. 

After our tour, we headed to the Bible Museum. 

Then grabbed ice cream! 

It was our last night, so we ate ice cream and sat outside on the capitol lawn. 

Grabbed dinner and called it a day!

I am so thankful that the 3 of us were able to have this trip together. We had so much fun and made so many memories
