Washington, D.C. {2012} - Day 2

We started off our day early with brunch at the American Girl Bistro just outside Washington, D.C.

and celebrated little M's 2nd birthday (albeit exactly 5 1/2 months late) in similar fashion to how we celebrated L's 2nd birthday just over 2 years ago in New York City...

M picked out her new Bitty Baby...

and we celebrated...

Our waitress sang to her and proclaimed our table "the cutest table she had ever waited on...ever"...ha!

After brunch, we headed into D.C. and went "memorial-hopping"!

the Washington Monument...

the Lincoln Memorial...

the FDR Memorial...

{B snapped this one!}

 {we lost a couple on the walk from the Lincoln Memorial to the FDR Memorial!}

and the Jefferson Memorial...

{yes, we covered some serious ground in just a few hours!}

before meeting up with my Aunt M & Uncle K for a yummy dinner at T.J. Stone's, near our hotel...

Phew...early morning for Hubby tomorrow!
