D.C.

Last week we took a trip to D.C. for our weekly family day trip. It was a blast! We all came home wiped out, but it was worth it.

Our pictures are kind of backwards, but oh well. After a full day in D.C. we stopped by the D.C. Temple. It was the perfect way to end the day. We walked through a new exhibit in the Visitor's Center and then walked around the Temple grounds. It was awesome.

The kids love to take pictures, so Karly insisted on getting a picture of Luke and I in front of the Temple. She posed us and everything.


The day went by far too quickly so we only had time to drive by the Capital Building. Hopefully next time we'll do a tour.

Kar was dieing to see the Supreme Court building. I guess she learned about the Supreme Court last year in school.



The kids in front of the Washington Monument.

There was the Extreme Makeover Van parked in front of the white house. The kids were wondering if the White House was getting a makeover.



We checked out the The Natural History Museum and the American History Museum. The kids loved them. Spence was especially excited to see C3PO.

The kids at Lincoln Memorial. We ended up walking all the way around the memorial. What a beautiful building with GORGEOUS views.

The kids were stoked on the flight. They got first class for the very first time.

Our weekly trips have been a blast this Summer. I hope we can keep the tradition up next year.
