Downtown D.C.

On the National Mall and it was kind of rainy! We had to run from one Smithsonian to another dodging the raindrops.




The National Cathedral I must admit was probably one of my favs!! The old gothic style cathedral was just incredible inside and out. Darth Vader's head is on one of the spires! And there is itty bitty Jordan...
At the U.S. Capitol overlooking the National Mall. Beauty huh!
U.S. Capitol. We pretty much blew off all the tours I requested from our congressman because they didn't fit in with our schedule. Kind of sad that we didn't see inside, but still good times.
We walked the entire distance from the capitol to the Lincoln memorial and halfway back plus detours= a grand total of like 5.5 miles in one evening. Good thing too cause we ate like a whole pizza between the two of us at "We the Pizza" before the walk. We are pretty much foodies we decided. This is as close as you can get to the White House nowadays without a tour. Our tour was scheduled badly which made us very sadly.
Hello President's House!

"Ketchup" (Catch up)


Washington D.C. and Virginia

We had a BLAST on the East Coast. First day there we went to Thomas Jefferson's house. I learned so much about him. Ashli watched Tucker for the day and we got to go explore Monticello. It was so beautiful there....and swelteringly hot. And it looks like I don't like my husband in this picture, but I honestly do. Haha. We had such a fun day!!
At the beach! First time on the Atlantic Ocean. LOVE the warm water.
The back porch view of George Washington's home. Even more beautiful and immaculate than Thomas Jefferson's. (Not to be comparing forefathers here, we are all equal).
Washington D.C. Temple. We even did a session there. So worth taking the time for. Just as breathtaking as everyone says...
Tucker being a cutie while Ashli watched him and we got to go gallivanting to D.C.
Stay tuned for more on D.C...
