Spring Break Day 5- Washington D.C and heading home

On Tuesday we only had time to visit one museum before heading back home.  We decided that the boys would really enjoy the Natural History Museum.  We are so glad that we took them there.  They loved it!  They really liked looking at the dinosaur bones and all of the animals that they had.  I could have spent hours in there just reading everything but that will have to be done on an adult trip to D.C sometime.  We ran through there pretty quickly.  One of our favorite things was the Butterfly Exhibit.  You got to walk in a little green house type place with butterflies flying around everywhere.  It was pretty neat to get that up close and personal with some of the most beautiful butterflies ever.  Chris and Tommy met up with us there and spent the morning with us before we headed out of town.  On our way back we stopped at the Shenandoah Caverns.  We knew the boys would love it and to break up our trip a little bit.  They thought it was so cool to be that far underground.  We dropped the big boys off at Pop and Gran Jan's on our way home to spend the remaining of their Spring Break with them.  Their cousins Mac and JL are also there.  I think the boys have had a marvelous Spring Break this year!  I can't begin to tell you how wonderful all 3 of the boys were on this trip.  Foster was an angel baby who truly cried maybe twice and that was because he was getting a diaper change.  Walker was so laid back and soaked everything in.  He acted like he was 10 years old on this trip.  Henry was talking non stop and acted like a big boy in D.C. even though it was probably a little boring for his age.  They all are incredible children and I thank God for blessing us with such well behaved children.  They were in the car for a total of 20 hours and never once complained.  We all had such a fun little family vacation and can't wait to go on another trip as a family of 5.
