Hello everyone! I'm Val from A Texan Odyssey.
I love visiting Austin Sun Drops and seeing beautiful pictures of travels and family life. When the opportunity came up to guest post for this blog, I was so excited to share pictures from one of my favorite family trips! They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and if that is true, then this post adds up to quite a hefty tome. I took 600 pictures on a trip to Washington D.C. four years ago and going through them for this post took me back as if it were just yesterday. I hope you all can feel like you were there too by looking at the ones I've put together for you! I know I went a little crazy with the picture taking, but there are so many beautiful things to photograph in D.C. that I couldn't resist! Enjoy and God bless!
