Four day getaway to DC and Maryland

Our family took a four day weekend to visit family and explore the DC and Maryland area. Here are some fun pics.... Early Saturday morning we headed to DC to meet up with my cousin Lisa and her husband Scott.

On our way to Maryland Saturday evening we saw the DC Mormon Temple from the freeway.

On Sunday we drove around....
The next few pictures are one of the reasons we named our Daughter "Seneca"

So neat!

On Monday before heading back to Philadelphia we thought we head to DC again and check out some museums. The first was the National Museum of the American Indian. This was a fantastic museum!
Seneca is from the Little Traverse Bay Band of Odawa Indians. This band is located in Harbor Springs Michigan. We saw some information about the Anishinaabe community originating in Canada. The language her tribe speaks is Anishinaabemowin so, we know this information is closely related to her.

While heading back to our car we passed a fountain where we cooled off!
