This Thanksgiving, we were able to spend the weekend in Washington D.C. with Scott and Denisse. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner (Denisse and I did the whole thing!) with Denisse's family. When we weren't eating, we spent our time seeing as many sites as we could possibly squeeze in. We were able to see so much, but we are already making an intinerary for our next trip there. In some of the museums, you could spend days there and not see everything. Here is a sample of what we did get to see...
World War II memorial
The Washington Monument
This is the ONLY picture I have of all three kids! I can't believe I didn't take any more. They were pretty good for being strapped in their strollers for 3 days! This is at the Lincoln Memorial.

Scott, Briell, Jack, and Justin at the Thomas Jefferson Memorial
Standing in line for food at the FDR Memorial
The Library of Congress. My FAVORITE building. The inside is so beautiful!!

One of Dorothy's original size 5 ruby slippers from the film Wizard of Oz, inside the Museum of American History.
The Hope Diamond. 45 karats!! Inside the Museum of Natural History.
Checking out the butterflies at the Museum of Natural History.
As we were walking by the White House, President Bush landed in a helicopter on the White House lawn...random!
This was one of my most favorite vacations of all time. We had so much fun. It was non-stop and packed full of fun and interesting things, and engaging conversations. Seeing all the monuments and memorials, and reading quotes from the Founding Fathers, made me realize that they were truly inspired men. They were led here by our Heavenly Father to establish this wonderful country that we live in. Hopefully we will always remember the values that this country was founded on and that we never stray too far from the country these men established.
A big thanks to Scott and Denisse for letting us stay at your house!! We miss you guys already and we can't wait to come back!
