Leaving on a Jet Plane
Putting our wishes on the Wishing Tree
Looking like a local on the Metro!
Standing in the middle of The National Mall. Looking one direction to the Washington Memorial and the other to the Capitol!

The WWII Memorial is amazing. Each state is represented by the pillars. There were so many interesting WWII facts represented.

Restoring Honor Rally - 8/28
with Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, Jo Dee Messina, John Rich...
The rally was so moving! We got to hear from some amazing soldiers who have given so much for our country. It really wasn't political. It was just about bringing our country back to the honor & integrity that it was founded on. And, of course, the need to allow God to reign in our nation. There were so many great Christian people there. It was very cool to see so many like-minded people gather for such a great event. It shows that there are still enough people all across the US who want a country that fears God.

This was such a special trip to share with my mom and bro. We were non-stop the whole time trying to fit in all the sights. We walked SOOO MUCH and it was exhausting but so worth every step! D.C. is BEAUTIFUL! It's so well planned and manicured. The amount of marble is amazing! There was so much to see and we were able to see most of it! We rock! I've never been so tired from a vacation! lol! ;)
