DC Trip #1

So Adam's sister and her husband and kids live in DC and we love that they are so close to us (well it's about 4 1/2 or 5 hours away but they are the closest family!) Well, a couple weeks ago Adam's sister had their second kid so we went down one weekend to visit them. It was so fun! They are the coolest family - just down to earth. Another reason for going down that weekend was to pick up Adam's mom and bring her back to Pitt for a few days and show her everything. So maybe I'll break up the pictures, but the next handful of pics are from that week.

DC - Since Adam lived there for an internship over a year ago we really wanted to see where he lived and worked, etc. However, we didn't get good pictures of it at all since the streets were so chaotic for Occupy Wall Street. We also went to the temple with Mom Dyal which was wonderful. Since the closest temple is either DC or Columbus, we can only go monthly and loved going to the beautiful DC temple with Mom Dyal. I don't have any pictures of that either, sorry.

We did go to a handful of sites like the Pentagon Memorial (and I thought of Mom)




And we went to the Air Force Memorial. We got their at sundown so I only snapped a blurry, dark photo so this other one is of the memorial at the air force 60th anniversary ceremony. I loved this site! They are unbelievably huge, solid, symbolic, and meaningful.




Oh, and here is a matching RayBand pic to show Dad!

It's even more fun for me to see your pictures since I was just there & know the places! Lol. Too bad we weren't there at the same time though :(
