Summer Uniform

 Going up to the Y this week!!!

Skirt: Shade Clothing, Tee: Gap, Shoes: Saltwater Sandals, Watch: Michael Kors, Necklace: VonEshna

Some staples to my wardrobe this summer have been my saltwater sandals, flowy skirts, my initial necklace and stripes. I'm sure if you saw me any day this summer I would have been wearing any one of those. I love all these pieces for summer because they're comfy, light and easy to pair with other items. And that fact that I have an addiction to stripes has nothing to do with it. 

D.C. Cupcakes and Museums

We went to the famous D.C. Cupcakes. I'm going to be completely honest. The frosting was amazing but the actual cupcakes were pretty average. 

We went to the Air and Space Museum, the Natural History Museum and the American History Museum. They all had cool things about them. I loved the first ladies' dresses exhibit in the American History Museum. The dresses were so pretty and classy!!! 

Mt. Vernon and the Monuments

Washington and his family.

Jefferson Monument

FDR Monument

MLK Monument

Korean War memorial

Lincoln Monument

Vietnam memorial

I loved Mt. Vernon so much! It made me appreciate Washington more than I ever have. He was such a well-rounded, hardworking and charitable man. He had businesses, took Martha's grandchildren as his own children, saved money for his slaves to use after they were freed and accomplished so much more. He was a great 1st president. 

All the memorials and monuments were so beautiful at night.

Bureau of Engraving, Holocaust Museum, and Ford's Theatre

One Million Dollars

Washington Monument

Old Post Office

Ford's Theatre

The gun that killed Lincoln.

The spot Lincoln was sitting when he was shot.

The bed Lincoln died in. 

It was very cool to see the making of money at the Bureau of Engraving. So much work goes into each dollar bill! There was a sign on the wall that said "I printed my lifetime earnings in a couple of minutes." Creative.

The Holocaust Museum was very cool. There was so much to see and look at. You could spend hours in there. I liked that you could see the before and after and not just the concentration camps which is what most history books focus on. I was amazing to realize that no one really knew what was going on.  It really shows the enormity of it all and the torture and heartache that the people went through.

The museum at Ford's theatre really made you appreciate Lincoln and the type of man he was. It also made you realize how much some people loved him.
