Last week before Christmas

We have visitors! We went to see A Christmas Carol at Ford's Theater.

We went into the city one night, went to the National Gallery of Art, and then ate dinner at my uncle's office overlooking the city.



From the roof of the building, we could see the Capitol.

Then we went over to the National Christmas tree. This is our family, but our picture didn't turn out so great. But it's us, I swear!


We also went to the National Museum of Natural History earlier in the week. This kids are overly tired, mainly Isaac. All day today has been cooking, plus lunch and dinner with the family. Next time I am going to plan in more down time if I can convince my husband and uncle to allow it. They are big time goers!

For that last picture, there should be a 'night mode+foreground' on your camera (the icon usually looks like a person with a star behind them). This way the flash goes off (getting the people in the foreground) and the shutter stays open (no one move! also, don't move the camera) and captures the [relatively dim] background. (There may be another night mode which doesn't do the flash, but that's not what you want,)

Hope y'all had a great Christmas :)
