Another day in DC

The weather was glorious on Day 4 of our trip.  We began our day in Mount Vernon.  Then we came back to the city for tours of the Marine Corps Museum, had dinner at Union Station, then went on a night tour.  If you want to see all of the pictures from our DC trip, check out our facebook page.
