Epic DC Vacation - Days 5 & 6 aka the finale

After a late night on the 4th of July (fireworks were going off all night!) we decided to take Friday easy.  We slept in and then enjoyed a leisurely morning getting ready and enjoying time together.  My parents and brothers went to the DC temple and in the afternoon, Dustin and I headed into town to meet up with Andrea.
We met up at the National Gallery of Art and enjoyed mimicking some famous art pieces.

Don't worry, Dustin kept his clothes on for the pose

We enjoyed some delicious fro-yo from a fro-yo truck before heading on the metro down to Georgetown.
My family met us at the metro stop to Georgetown and we took a taxi to Mai Thai for some super yummy Thai food.
Next stop was cupcakery heaven!  Nathan and Elliott went ahead to scope out Georgetown Cupcakes and the line was outta control.  So we skipped Georgetown Cupcakes and stopped at Serendipity for some frozen hot chocolates.

 

Then we enjoyed Baked and Wired Cupcakes (our number one favorite cupcakes of DC!) at the waterfront park while Mr. Elliott ran in the fountains.

We hiked back to the Metro passing Sprinkles Cupcakes but decided to pass those up (sadly).

Saturday the 6th was our final day in DC.  We ventured into the city for some final site seeing.
Old Ebbitt Grill is the oldest restaurant in DC, where we enjoyed a tasty brunch. 

 

The White House was just a hop skip and a jump away and we got to take a picture in the Oval Office!

 

The First Couple

Ok, so we weren't really in the Oval Office, it was a White House gift shop that lets you take a free pic with any purchase, but we thought we make a great First Couple. ;)
We made sure to stop at one last cupcakery on the way home-- and ran into some missionaries on the way! There was a fro-yo shop right next to Hello Cupcake so we bought them a cool treat on a hot DC day. 

 

Final cupcakes were purchased and we headed home to pack up our stuff and head to the airport.

It was such a fun trip and there are so many things we didn't get to see.  We know we will be back!
Thanks Nathan and Adrienne for hosting an epic summer vacation!!
