Christmas in Washington DC

We spent the day in Washington enjoying some of the Christmas decorations and events. This was our first time in DC over Christmas. We had a great time seeing the Train Exhibit at the conservatory. We went to see the National Christmas Tree and enjoy The Peace Trail. We ended the day in Chinatown at our favorite Chinese restaurant. We had such a great day!

What a happy family.

All the ornaments on the tree were made by Children in California

Meilynn loved seeing all the flowers.

It took a year to build this display.

What a great train display.

So glad to see the Christ Child at the center of The Peace Trail.

There were trees from each of the States on The Peace Walk
