The Thyen/Hitchcock Family Group Christmas Photo
This year Amy and I drove up to my sister's house in Northern Virginia to spend the Christmas Holiday with my side of the family.

On Sunday (December 23rd) Amy and I took a Metro Ride into Washington DC with my Sister Mary, my Niece Katie, and my Nephew Conner!

We started out with the National Geographic Museum to see the Titanic exhibit and the "Tomb of Christ". Afterwards we took a stroll past Donald's House!
Group Selfie Time in front of the White House!

We enjoyed a fabulous lunch at The Hamilton Restaurant
Washington Monument Group Selfie
We finished up our trip into DC with a visit to the Holocaust Museum! I didn't take any photos at any of the Museums, but the Holocaust Museum was an intense emotional experience and in my opinion is a must see for anyone visiting Washington DC!

The rest of our visit was spent enjoying family time, walks around my sister's neighborhood, presents, games, food, and drink!
Here are some more photos from our Christmas visit!
