D.C.

Last month Brandon and I took an actual vacation! We went to Washington D.C. to visit my brother and sister-in-law. I can't remember when I have had a more enjoyable time. We saw so much and just enjoyed spending time with Stephen and Heather. I wish we could have stayed another week.



Arlington National Cemetery

Changing of the guard

Sharing the "date" umbrella

View of Washington monument from the Lincoln Memorial

Waiting for the metro

Lincoln Memorial. I physically ran into the Reverend Jesse Jackson. If only I had been prepared.

Washington Monument

Preparing to tour Mt. Vernon

We took a boat ride on the Potomac river. It was really windy, but beautiful. This is the view of Mt. Vernon from the boat

That is the boat we were on in the distance.

Mt. Vernon (I could have stayed several days)

Stephen and Heather

National Cathedral

Happy to be eating somewhere other than subway. (B and I have a hard time breaking the mold)

Who can resist a church with a red door?

Oh so tired but excited to be heading home to our boys.
