We recently took a trip to Washington DC to visit Brandon's brother Josh, his wife Jenn and their children: Annabelle, Isabella, David, and Christian (left to right).
Josh works as a Congressional Liason for the Army and took us all on a private tour of the Capitol.
On the "regular" tour you don't get to see this Italian Marble bathtub that early
congress members requested to be added to the Capitol. That was WAY back when
politicians weren't so dirty.
We had beautiful weather while we were there and after the Capitol tour, headed over to
the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History.
Fortunately, we didn't go at night when everything becomes ALIVE.
We also spent a day walking the "mall" area and saw lots of monuments and memorials.
Notice the "dome" theme.
Jefferson memorial
We also had a great time with Kelli Jo, my long-time friend who also lives in DC.
Kelli's united!
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt memorial.
Martin Luther King Jr. memorial
World War II memorial
Lincoln memorial
Josh also took Brandon, myself and Kelli Jo on a private tour of the Pentagon which was amazing. No pictures were allowed inside but we happened to meet Josh's boss who said he was doing an excellent job. He works very long hours to ensure our troups are well taken care of.
We really appreciate Jenn taking such good care of us at their home and making us some delicious meals!
Christian and Annabelle kept us entertained with their cuteness.
Brandon played football with David (nomitated MVP of his football team) and
Isabella showed Kelli her bow-making/tree climbing skills which rival Katniss Everdeen.
Our trip home we got bumped off our flight so ended up getting a couple of free tickets from it.
Where to next?
