January 12th 2010, Day 7:
Today was our last full day in Washington D.C. so we were trying to cram everything in. Our first stop was Arlington National Cemetery. It was huge!! Graves for miles and miles!
We were able to witness the changing of the guard at Arlington National Cemetery. They have someone guarding the tomb of the unknowns 24/7. These guards have to fit a certain weight, height, and be the top of their regiment to even qualify to be a guard here.
Tomb of the Unknowns.
Here lies President John Fitzgerald Kennedy.
The tour people were all smitten by Brooklyn.
We stopped by the Pentagon. It wasn't anything too spectacular, because we were not able to get on a tour group to go inside.
Then we went to the National Archives. We saw many famous US History Documents. Here below is the Declaration of Independence.
You can barely make out what it says anymore. It's a good thing we have more readable copies.
Here is the famous Hope Diamond!!
Jessica and I both decided that our husbands need to get us a diamond upgrade. :)
We also saw a 3D Film called the "Wild Ocean." It was slightly tree-huggerish, but still really cool to see in 3D.
Brooklyn kept trying to eat the glasses of whoever was holding her. She'd only keep them on for a little while, and then she'd try to eat them.
Our last tourist stop of the day was the US Capitol. Brandon made the comment, "Why doesn't the President just live here?? It's way bigger than the White House." :)
The Capitol is much bigger than the White House, but it is used for a meeting place of the United States Congress, and the Legislature of the Federal Government of the United States. So I guess Obama will have to stay in his little shack of a house for now. :)
It was seriously the cutest thing ever! They were both just standing up against the tub. Brooklyn kept giggling and they would just look back and forth at each other.
I love Brooklyn's little chubby leg rolls. Her rolls have gotten a lot smaller since she has started moving around. I'm pretty sure Maggie and Brooklyn both wanted to jump in the tub. 
I have heard so many stories of dogs reacting badly to babies, . . . running away several times a day, throwing up, diarrhea, eating baby's pajama's and diapers, chewing up bottles, and eating breast pump accessories, . . . I could go on and on about the stories I've heard. However, guess we are some of the lucky ones because we have had no trouble at all. Maggie just loves Brooklyn. She has become very protective of Brooklyn. We are really grateful for such a good little dog.
More on Brooklyn. Brooklyn is constantly smiling when she is in the bath tub. She just loves it! Bath time is seriously one of my favorites because of how much she enjoys it and how cute she is.
Besides standing up really well while holding on to things, Brooklyn is also crawling. Well I guess that what you call it. She is so funny when she crawls. This is how she does it. She is up on all fours and does a bear crawl. 
Brooklyn is seriously growing up way to fast.
