We were there right in DC when it happened, I havent been since I was little, and my DH, and 2 older sons (23 and 28) were in the American History Museum and the whole building started shaking up and down, luckly we were on the first floor and got out soon, Some people thought it was a bomb and others scared because of 9/11 after thoughts. Everyone was out on the Mall, they said the animals at the National Zoo knew about it before, the keepers were all wondering why they were acting so strange, the monkeys all huddled together! Then we watched the helicopter fly around the Washington Monument all afternoon going up and down. Well it was ONE unforgetable trip to DC anyways!
My older son is getting married down there in Bethesda in April so will be back many times I'm sure! Fol all of you that live down that way....It's so beautiful and everyone was so pleasant! All I could think of was my little furbabies up here in MA with my daughter! Tinks HATES thunder...I wonder how she did with this! Stay safe everyone! We've got a bad storm now headed up the coast!
