Our DC trip

So I finally found my camera cord in the move (thank goodness!) and uploaded pictures from as far back as christmas! woof! but I am just gonna start slow and get ya'll as updated as I can. Here are some shots from our recent trip to PennsylVANia, tour of DC, and pit stop in Wisconsin.

The Washington Monument and reflection pool. I was sad not to see Jen-nay running across to meet up with Forest but I'm pretty sure I saw her shoe stuck in the inches and inches of duck gunk and floating goose poop that fills the majority of the reflection pool. Nasty.

Saw our good ol' pal Link
My favorite was the Vietnam memorial. It just has a very captivating spirit about the place.
Woot woot for PA! The WWII memorial was probably one of the cleanest attractions enough that Jaxon even dunked his head in the fountain to cool off from the imense heat and humidity.

The most special part of seing all these memorials was to know that I have several ancestors and family members, and Jaxon does too, who have served and fought for this country. From the Revolutionary War, Cival War, World War II, Vietnam, to the Iraq War. It makes me proud to come from such a patriotic blood line.

Barely got a picture of the Pentagon as we drove past but you can see on the left were it was rebuilt after 9/11. Kind of erie to be that close to something like that. Made it seem very real. I can't imagine what Ground Zero is like!

After searching the American History Museum for what seemed like hours on the hunt for Marilyn Monroe's dress that was supposed to be there and then finding out it wasn't on display (heartbreaker), we caught a glimpse of Marilyn downtown DC! That made my whole day!

Of course we had to see the DC temple! It was amazing. We went to the visitors center and to the distribution center but we both forgot our temple clothes (not that my dress even fits my pregnant bod) but it was still amazing! I felt like I was standing in front of a castle!

While we were in PA we went to the New Holland factory and toured where they make all the farm equiptment! It was actually pretty sweet! We just love hay balers...but mostly we love our sweet safety goggles we had to wear on the tour!
