Random DC Highlights

RANDOM DC HIGHLIGHTS:

Chilling with the presidential candidates.

Here I am reflecting at the Reflecting Pool (haha!)... Spelling that made me laugh, offically. :)


Josh with a million dollars... Josh and the Korean War Memorial...




Hanging out with the Edwards... At the metro's steep escalator that used to scare me as a child...


At a dinner theater where we saw West Side Story... At the DC temple.












OTHER HIGHLIGHTS:
  • Seeing the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. I felt so strongly looking at them that they were inspired of God.
  • Being at the Capitol and hearing The 1812 Overture with live cannons! Need I say more? It was so COOL!
  • Being able to hang out with my husband!
  • Hearing the organ at the National Cathedral.
  • Eating out!
  • Going to the Wright brothers exhibit room at the Air and Space Museum. It was really interesting. It sounds a little sappy, but I really gained an appreciation for what good men they were.
  • Seeing the dinosaur bones and the Natural History Museum. I can't believe those bones were actually parts of living creatures on our earth even though I know they were!
  • The monuments. It was a good reminder of great men who helped found this county and those who have fought to keep this country.
NOT HIGHLIGHTS:
  • Heat and humidity.
  • Massive reaction to a bug bite. [See picture.] I wore a bandaid to try to cover it. After the day shown, I wore a bigger one.

Ha Ha! I love that you included the "Not Highlights". I'm sorry about your bug bite. I thought it looked painful at the ward fhe but I can see it had been much worse. That must have been one crazy mosquito!!

PS. 1812 Overture. Live. With Canons. AWESOME!!

Wow!!! We are SO impressed that you guys took pictures! I guess we finally rubbed off on you a little bit since we left! Looks like it was tons of fun though. How were the fireworks? And where is your namesake Edwards baby? Next trip . . . Southern California, right?
