I'm Fired!

Apparently I'm not a very good blogger! I've been home from our little get away for over a week and have yet to post about it, horrible I know! See...I don't know that I've even fully recovered from the trip. I have never walked so much in my life. I'm sticking to my story that we must have walked 20 miles, up hill all the time, and sometimes I think it snowed too! We had a great time, just being together and taking it all in, but my feet and legs are still complaining (well, maybe not really, but they should be)! So...two full days in Washington DC is not nearly enough time to take in everything. We saw lots of great stuff, but we missed a lot of great stuff too. We had some great meals though...always important! As for pictures, we really didn't take a whole bunch. I actually felt kind of silly walking up to this gigantic monument and taking a picture. The picture doesn't do it justice at all. I also giggled at all the foreign people who were so interested in our history. I guess it goes to show how much we are respected by others. Anyway...the trip seems like it was so long ago that I've forgotten most details and all I have for you are some pictures...enjoy!

The White House...


Joseph really had to go...


The Capitol, this is as close as we got because it was "National Fallen Police Officers Weekend"...


The Metro was our BFF after we finally figured it out. This is DuPont Circle which I swear is the longest escalator ever. Oh, and when we left, it was broken so Joseph had to carry our luggage down this...fun times!


Our only picture together from the trip. We were standing on the Lincoln Memorial steps and that's of course the Washington Monument in the back with the reflection pool. Probably my favorite picture though!


This has to be the cutest picture. While walking to the WWII Memorial we passed this adorable little family, and fed them...


This next picture is the changing of the guards at Arlington National Cemetery. I remember watching this when I was little, and it's still an amazing thing to watch. It's not the greatest picture, since you can't seen the tomb or anything, but it's a picture.


I started with the White House, and I'll end with the White House at night. It was really beautiful to see at night.


And that's all for my pictures. I have brought work home with me...did you ever think you would hear a Kindergarten Teacher say that?! It's the last 7 days and there's lots to be done, so I'm off to do it. We have another jammed pack weekend camping with our friends, the next weekend my Sarah graduates high school (I rocked her to sleep when she was a baby!!!!) and then I'm flying off to Texas to enjoy a road trip with my BFF Lisa...busy busy busy. No promised posts for awhile, that's for sure! And I've got to plan my husband's 30th birthday, and my parent's 30th anniversary...I gotta go! Thanks for being patient. And a BIG thank you for the calls, emails, cards, donations, flowers, everything, that was sent or said to us about our Jackson. Hard to believe it's been 2 years. We wouldn't have made it without you, so thank you! As always, please REMEMBER JACKSON!
