The Dawsons go to Washington

John Will's Uncle Bob Dawson was buried at Arlington National Cemetery this past Tuesday Feb. 21st. So, we went to Washington D.C. over the long Presidents Day weekend.  We went with JW's parents and his sister Gini and her family. We had a great trip. This is what Uncle Bob wanted. All the family to meet in D.C. and be able to enjoy a family vacation. I think he would have been happy. 
The weather cooperated and was sunny and cool most days which was great because we walked everywhere. I am planning to do another post when I can get all my pictures and blogger to cooperate. This is the second time I have typed out this post. More pictures to come soon....

I'm sorry for the loss of your uncle. He must've been a great guy!

Will's been wanting to go to D.C., too. I've been once, but only had time to see the Smithsonian museum of natural history. Would love to see more! Looking forward to the next post. :)
