Washington D.C.

I got to go on a quick weekend trip to Washington D.C. for Mother's Day.  I met Uncle Bob, Aunt Vickie and Courtney and we spent the day touring D.C.

Bob really wanted to see the White House.  We tried to get tickets but they didn't have any left.  We got to see a special tribute to the WW2 soldiers who were still living and they had special fly overs with planes from that time period.  It was a really neat ceremony.

I loved visiting the Supreme Court building.  I wish they could have given me some lessons so I could be better with come backs for Josh's epic debates.  

We did get a great tour of the capitol building!

The best part of the trip and the whole reason for going was to be with Jeff and Melanie as they were sealed to William.  They have waited 11 years to have a baby and they finally got to adopt the sweetest baby.  They are so happy and it was fun to be there with them.  

Jeff and Melanie live in Newport News, Virginia.  It is about 4.5 hour drive from D.C.

I rented a car and drove my family down there.  It's been a long time since I've been on a long car ride with Bob.  I think he is worse than my kids.  We stopped at least four times.  It was fun to see more of Virginia and Courtney & I made a travel log of all our fun stops!  I did take a 20 minutes off freeway detour to eat at Cafe Rio!  It was so worth it!!!
