Sunday was Dan's birthday and we had a fun weekend celebrating it. We've been quite busy ever since wrapping up loose ends before we head out for the holidays. We spent Sunday morning at the U.S. Botanic Gardens on the Hill where these photos were taken. One of Dan's dearest friends Jeff, his wife Christine, and son Bryce joined us for a fun morning.
During the holiday season, the botanic garden is decorated festively and model trains are set up both inside and out. The weather wasn't cooperating when we arrived, so the outdoor trains were not running; however, we did get to see a few. Otherwise, Nickolas visited a jungle, a desert, rare species and the garden court where miniature models of various DC monuments could be found.
