Our trip to Washinton DC!

Washington DC!

It was so exciting to be in the nation's capital. There is such a hype associated with going to DC and believe me, it does not dissappoint! The buildings there are so beautiful, they paid attention to every detail! The architecture on the old buildings was so intricate and impressive to look at.

It was humbling to see the actual documents of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and of course, the Declaration of Independence. It is a good reminder of the foresight and wisdom of our fore fathers. I am so grateful that they put those important documents in such a place of honor, so that they have been preserved so that anyone can come and see them.

The only complaint I had was that we had to walk everywhere, so I got pretty darn tired. I really wish we could have seen more. If we ever get the chance to go again, I think we will spend at least 2 or 3 days there.

Sorry about the long gap between posts, we've just been keeping ourselves busy! We just got back from our trip to North Carolina, where we were visiting my sister and her husband and two boys. North Carolina is a beautiful state. One of the first thing we noticed was the trees. There are trees EVERYWHERE! We were in the middle of the city and had no idea because there were so many trees blocking the buildings and such. It felt like we were in a forest everywhere we went. To give you an idea of what I mean, here is a picture of the view from their backyard.

We did a bit of traveling while we were there too. The first place we went to was the Mount Vernon Plantation. It was George Washington's farm, and mansion house. George Washington is my absolute favorite president so it was amazing to be there.
I don't want to bore all of you with too many pictures at once, so I have decided to break up our vacation into 3 separate posts.
