On July 4 we got up early in Philadelphia and headed for our nation's capital to celebrate Indepencence Day. When we got to our hotel our rooms weren't ready, so mom and the boys headed for batting practice before the Nationals game and Craig, Grandma and Caroline went to the National Art Museum. Batting practice was fun. Isaac got a ball tossed up to him from the bullpen by the Braves best starting pitcher. The Nationals have a beautiful new stadium.
We got to see Adam Dunn hit his 300th career home run. It was very exciting.
After the game we had a fun dinner at Chef Geoff's and then walked over to the mall to watch the July 4th fireworks. The kids entertained us before the show by playing "Ninja", a game Jake learned at his leadership conference this summer.
The mall was really crowded:
And the fireworks show was magnificent:

DC is one of my very favorite places. And to be there on the 4th of July would be magnificent. Your vacation is my ideal. What wonderful memories.
