Finally...Our Trip to Washington D.C.

I have tried 3 times to get these pictures on our Blog and I keep getting interrupted before I finish...so here it is for real this time! In June we had an awesome opportunity to go to Washington D.C. to visit Cam, Sarah and Lucy for a week! We had a blast and we appreciated Cam and Sarah for letting us stay with them. It really was an amazing trip. It was our first trip Jared and I took just ourselves since our Honeymoon. We had a blast. Here are a series of pictures!


Arlington Cemetery. Our first stop!
The Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers. We were able to see the change of the guard while we were there. It was really neat. They have someone guarding this tomb 24/7!
Here we are in the capitol building in the spot that is right in the middle of Washington D.C.
This was a cool shot of the capitol from inside, we were able to take a tour of the capitol building. It was really neat, and it was really fun to learn about all the history behind it.
Here we are in front of the capitol building.
Here is Jared at the WWII Monument. He served his mission in South Dakota so we had to take a picture!
Here we are in front of the Washington Monument. This was one our favorite stops. We were able to go to the top and see the amazing view.
Lincoln Monument
This was another fun day, we drove up to a beach in Delaware! It was worth the drive we had a great time playing in the sand and the waves! We even had a fun picnic! Thanks for taking us Cam and Sarah!

Cute Lucy playing in the waves! She is such a funny girl! We loved every minute with her!
Cam and Lucy love to play Scrabble together. Lucy decides what she want to spell and they sound the word out together and find the letters to make the words. She is so smart!
We celebrated Lucy's 3rd Birthday a few days early, with yummy cupcakes! We had so much fun with that girl...she was always making us laugh.
We gave Lucy a princess backpack for her birthday to carry her pink computer in. We had so much fun celebrating with her!
This is Jared's first subway ride!
On our last day in Washington D.C. we rented a paddle boat and rowed around the tidal basin. While we were out we saw the president fly above in his helicopter. See the picture below.
Thank you so much Cam, Sarah and Lucy! We had the best time with you guys!!
