Happy 7th Anniversary from DC!

What a WONDERFUL 7th Anniversary we had in Washington DC! It was a short, fast weekend but we got to see and do so SO much! Here are a few highlights!

Got to go to the Washington DC Temple ... and walk an extra mile to get there! (We took the Metro... and then tried to catch the bus - only to find out we had walked a mile in the wrong direction to the bus stop... BUT thankfully when we got to the bus with only a $1 bill and $5 bill - the bus driver said we only had to pay $1 because he didn't want to overcharge us by us putting in the $5 and not getting any change!) -- What a BEAUTIFUL Temple - inside and out!

We got to walk the "MALL" a couple times ... took a tour of the Library of Congress and Capitol...

Ate at some AMAZING restaurants (only 1 of which we took a picture at!)
And Saturday ... we spent most of the day with my college roommate, Ivy and her family! Christian (16 months old!) was such a trooper as we toured Mount Vernon...

Us at Mount Vernon...

And Shane was an even BIGGER trooper as he went to this DELICIOUS restaurnt not feeling so hot! Dinner was so yummy and we enjoyed so so much spending time with Ivy and Shane!

Our last day we were able to visit several of the Monuments... (lots of walking in!)

Go up IN the Washington Monument (which Jonathan waited in line, in the rain to get tickets for at 8am!)

View from atop the Washington Monument and we could even see the Washington DC Temple!

And here we are in The National Gallery of Art!

This was by far probably our most "fun" trip together... I guess each year we grow closer together and enjoy being together more! I ate so much yummy food I think I literally gained 10 pounds - you would've thought all that walking would've helped! I'm sure I left a LOT out ... and we didn't take pictures everywhere - we just enjoyed being together! Big thanks to my mom for keeping our boys!
