Washington D.C.

At the beginning of October, we made our annual trip to Washington D.C.  Each year we (usually Rich these days) go to run the Army 10 miler in honor of our friend, Major David G. Taylor, who was killed in Iraq in 2006.  This year was the 5th anniversary of his death and so there was a big get together with friends of his from all parts of his life.  While in D.C., we try to partake in all things D.C.  

 The kids had a fun time trying all out of the equipment at the Army 10 miler expo.

 Terefech was unusually good at flying a Blackhawk in a simulator.  She did manage to run over a few soldiers while driving in a Humvee simulator.  

 We also headed over to the Natural History Museum. 

 We went into the butterfly house while there and saw some amazing butterflies.  This one though Dave's butt was a great landing place.  He stayed there most of our time in the house and had to be brushed off before Dave left much to the chagrin of the woman working there!

 All kinds of cool dinosaurs...
