Weekend in D.C. - Saturday

On Saturday, we went to the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. It was beautiful!!


They have many gorgeous mosaics, such as this one. There are mosaics covering entire domes and walls!


After touring the Shrine and attending Mass, we had a picnic on the lawn followed by a game of tag :)


Then, we were off to the JPII Cultural Center. I loved seeing many things from his life and papacy. There were even fun things for the kids to do.



It was a busy day, but wonderful! I highly recommend visiting these places if you get a chance to go to D.C. You can even drive there...they have parking!
